THE AI ANGLE
stress-testing physical machines in simulation

Laplace Intelligence built an automated platform that uses AI agents to stress-test robots and autonomous vehicles in simulation. The software reconstructs real environments and generates rare edge cases based on collision reports and traffic data. This lets engineers test physical AI against reactive agents instead of relying on human-designed scenarios or recorded footage.
