profiles Laplace Intelligence and its automated red-teaming for robotics and physical AI
Quote
Ann Arbor-based Laplace is building automated red-teaming — essentially, stress-testing a system by deliberately trying to make it fail — for robotics and physical AI.

What happened

Laplace Intelligence is building automated red-teaming tools that use AI agents to test robots and autonomous vehicles in simulation before deployment. Its environment combines a post-trained version of Nvidia’s Cosmos with real-world imagery, map data, and traffic information, while agents generate challenging scenarios from sources such as news and collision reports. The startup has generated revenue and a modest profit, primarily from autonomous driving projects, and is working toward recurring contracts.
