About MAD Robotics
Building adaptable intelligence for robots to create abundant, safe, affordable labor
Why we exist
Human prosperity depends on more than energy and resources. To reach a truly abundant world, we also need abundant labor — the capacity to build, repair, and create without being limited by shortages or demographics.
Today, labor shortages are slowing production worldwide. Robotics and AI can help fill this gap, enabling prosperity while freeing people to focus on work that really matters to them.
This mission also serves a parallel purpose: Europe missed much of the internet revolution, and the European Commission now warns that the AI era is an existential challenge for competitiveness (link). If AI and robotics are outsourced, Europe will struggle to sustain its values — social justice, sustainability, and well-being.
Mission
Create abundant, safe, affordable labor by developing adaptable intelligence for robots and machines.
Vision
An abundant society where general-purpose robots provide useful work, improving productivity and prosperity while honoring human and planetary stewardship.
