Teaching a robot hand to fold by watching
Meridian’s latest hands learned to fold garments from forty demonstrations recorded on a phone, with no hand-written motion code. The result: 40 demonstrations to learn a task.

Reinnder Labs
Research for what comes after what’s next.
Reinnder Labs is where the next division begins. Small teams of researchers and engineers work three to ten years out, on robots that learn by watching, chips that compute like neurons, and storage that changes what clean energy can do.
- 3 flagship research programmes
- 10 yrs research horizon
- 1 new division a year, our aim
What we do
Applied AI research
Models that reason over sensors, not only text.
Advanced robotics
Manipulation and mobility for robots that learn new tasks by demonstration.
Energy materials
Solid-state and sodium chemistries for cheaper, safer storage.
Quantum sensing
Sensors that measure magnetic fields and time with extreme precision.
Venture studio
Turning research that works into new Reinnder divisions.
