Intelligence that will eat the world.
Who we are
We are a student-led research lab based in India, dedicated to advancing the interdisciplinary study of embodied intelligence through integrated frameworks spanning robotics, world modeling, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind.
We believe AI is fundamentally a problem about how minds work—drawing from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and philosophy—rather than just statistical optimization. While this approach is different from mainstream AI research, we think it's the path to genuine intelligence.
Research in Progress
Embodied Intelligence & World Models
Embodied intelligence is studied through agents that learn predictive models of their environments from interaction. The emphasis is on acquiring compact world models from sensory streams such as vision, action, and proprioception, and using these models for planning and control without dense rewards or environment-specific tuning.
Experiments are conducted primarily in simulated and game-based environments, with an emphasis on understanding which learned representations support generalization and long-horizon reasoning.
Status: Prototypes and exploratory experiments
Neuromorphic systems
We are currently experimenting with speeding up existing algorithms and architectures and eventually enable back-propagation free on-chip training of neuromorphic algorithms.
Experiments include using evolutionary strategies to train Spiking Neural Networks without surrogate back propagation to enable forward pass on-chip training on neuromorphic chips.
Status: Our SNN speedup experiments with evoltuionary strategies at hyperscale is in pre-print. We've managed to achieve 2.23 times faster wall-clock time relative to naive ES.
