Our mission is to build the Covariant Brain, a universal AI to give robots the ability to see, reason and act on the world around them.

Success in the real world requires a team that represents that world: diversity of backgrounds, points of view, and experiences. Our common denominator: ambitious expectations, love of learning, empathy for those around us, and a team-first mindset.
