AI & robotics studio · est. 2021
NeuronicsLab builds artificial intelligence for robots. We design perception, planning, and control so a system can work on a factory floor, a warehouse aisle, or an open road — not only in a notebook.
The lab
We started NeuronicsLab because most AI stops at a screen. Robotics is the harder problem: a model has to see through glare, plan around people, and act before the next cycle of the line.
Our team pairs ML researchers with roboticists and controls engineers. That mix lets us take a stack from simulation to a moving platform without handing the problem to three vendors.
Selected work
A sample of AI and robotics work across warehouses, last-mile, and industrial cells. Names of confidential partners are withheld.

Autonomy stack for last-mile robots. Fused cameras, lidar, and a compact planner so the fleet keeps moving when streets are dark, wet, or crowded.
Collaborative inspection robot for high-speed lines. The model flags defects and the arm isolates the part, so the line keeps running while a person reviews the edge cases.
Capabilities
Vision, lidar, and multimodal stacks so a robot can find objects, people, and free space in messy real scenes.
Navigation, motion planning, and task policies that run on the robot and fail safe when the world surprises them.
Grasp, place, and assembly skills for arms and mobile manipulators — trained in sim, finished on the cell.
Models compressed to live on the robot. No waiting on the cloud for a decision that has to happen this frame.
Automation
We automate the work around the robot as well as the robot itself — lines, cells, and flows that have to run every shift.
End-of-line, inspection, and changeover sequences that keep a cell moving when the mix changes mid-shift.
Vision and sensor loops tied into PLC and MES so a decision becomes a motion, a reject, or a hold — not a dashboard alert.
Goods-to-person, tote routing, and dock automation. The AI decides; the conveyors, AMRs, and arms carry it out.
Operators stay in charge of the edge cases. The system escalates, waits, and resumes without stopping the whole line.
How we work
We start with the task, the floor, and the failure mode — not a model card.
Simulation first, then early runs on the real platform. Lab accuracy that dies on the floor is not a result.
Latency budgets, recovery behaviors, and the boring work that keeps people safe around a moving machine.
Your team leaves with the stack, the data contract, and a way to keep improving the robots.
Lab notes

How we train grasp policies that put the part down instead of forcing a bad hold.
How we design operator UIs that show what the autonomy does not know.
