Scaled Foundations

GRID: a simulation-first platform for robot learning

Scaled Foundations, founded by former Microsoft Research aerial robotics lead Ashish Kapoor, builds GRID, a platform that combines foundation models for perception, state estimation, safety, and control with simulation for rapid development of robot intelligence. GRID uses the AirGen simulator to generate training data and evaluate robotics policies, with an LLM-powered orchestration layer for natural interaction.
