RAI Institute
Cambridge-based robotics research lab, founded by Marc Raibert and spun out of Boston Dynamics' Hyundai acquisition. Focuses on locomotion, manipulation, and physical AI. Known for Q2RL, a method that fine-tunes behavior-cloned robot policies via real-world RL in hours, and AthenaZero, a low-inertia bimanual manipulator using direct-drive motors.
