Laplace Intelligence Brings AI Red-Teaming to Physical Automation

University of Michigan spinout Laplace Intelligence is stress-testing the next generation of robots and autonomous vehicles using AI agents and high-fidelity simulation before they deploy in the real world. The Ann Arbor-based company, founded just over a year ago by Howie Sun and Henry Liu, pairs an Nvidia Cosmos-derived world-model simulation with autonomous AI agents that actively hunt for failure scenarios, drawing on police collision reports, news stories, and real-world traffic patterns to design corner cases that traditional testing might miss.
