Eka Robotics

Product

Eka Robotics builds robotic systems that use vision and force feedback to handle physical objects. Its Vision-Force-Action model combines perception, control and sensing hardware so a robot can adjust its movements when contact conditions change.

The company trains manipulation policies through reinforcement learning in physics simulation. The approach lets virtual robots practise variations in objects and contact before the resulting policies are deployed on physical hardware.

Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Eka was co-founded by Pulkit Agrawal and Tuomas Haarnoja. Its work targets adaptable physical manipulation for industrial applications.
