CUPI

CUPI Cornell University Physical Intelligence

Mission:

Intentional design and integration

CUPI prototypes for embodied autonomy, platforms where structure, sensing, and control are co-designed. We iterate quickly on aerial and terrestrial robots, and we aim to design every system, mechanical, electrical, and software, from the ground up.

We have a small team project focused approach, where a group containing members from different subteams takes a project from design to manufacture to integration. This ownership-based management approach gives our engineers the control they need to complete projects efficiently.

Subteams

Mechanical

Airframes, aero surfaces, composites.

Electrical

Power systems, sensing, embedded electronics.

Autonomy

Perception, onboard planners, simulation.

Power

Robotic actuators, motors, engines, energy systems.
