Stanhope AI teaches robots and machines how to make decisions in the real world, with a particular focus on allowing them to tackle situations in which they have received no training. We are taking Active Inference from neuroscience into AI as the foundation for software that will allow robots and embodied platforms to make autonomous decisions like the human brain. Current generative AIs require vast training data. In contrast, we build our models to enable learning and inference on devices that are low power and low cost. Deployed on the edge, we are teaching autonomous systems to develop lightweight, lean world models.
