Laplace Intelligence builds AI-driven red-teaming platform to stress-test robots and self-driving cars
Ann Arbor startup Laplace Intelligence is developing automated red-teaming for physical AI—using a real-world‑grounded, post‑trained version of Nvidia’s Cosmos simulator and AI agents that generate corner cases—to find failures in robots, autonomous vehicles, and other deployed physical systems; the company is presenting at TechCrunch Disrupt’s Startup Battlefield. Founders Howie Sun and Henry Liu base the product on prior University of Michigan research and aim to surface edge cases before real‑world deployment.
