Overview

Every instance of intelligence occurring in nature is embodied. Scientific intelligence is no different. We are building general-purpose robotic experimentalists: systems that unite scientific reasoning and physical action to iterate toward discovery by observing, hypothesizing and experimenting.

Cooper Niu

Founder/CTO

PhD candidate in Physics at Brown University. Created ALBERT, an autonomous AI particle physicist that proposes, verifies, and iteratively refines physics theories; given pre-1990 data, it recovered the top quark's mass and properties in under an hour. Previously researched neutrinos at Fermilab on the NOvA experiment. Featured in APS Physics Magazine: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v19/119
