Real-world AI: let machines think, so people can create.
Carbix combined open-source energy monitors with appliance recognition research to help people understand household electricity use. The monitor tracked individual circuits, while the algorithms explored how much electricity each appliance used from whole-home readings. Hardware designs, firmware, and documentation remain open source.
X-CAD turns text, reference images, and sketches into editable parametric 3D models. Engineers can inspect and refine geometry in the browser, collaborate in the cloud, and export STEP files to continue their design and manufacturing workflow.
Our next research directions bring AI into the physical world: embodied and physical AI with humanoid robots, drone technology, and autonomous driving. We are exploring how machines can perceive their surroundings, plan decisions, and turn them into useful actions.
