Spatial AI for Robots and Humans

Abstract
We are developing tools to enable physically-embodied, spatial AI as a "technological superpower" for Robots and Humans. Semantic simultaneous localization and mapping can enable long-lived autonomous systems to navigate in complex dynamic environments. Our dream is to create mobile robots that can build and maintain models of the world through lifelong learning, improving their performance over time, and helping humans to perform difficult tasks.
