Laplace Intelligence builds automated control systems for robots and autonomous vehicles using a customized version of Nvidia's Cosmos simulation platform.
Rooted in 2023 research published in Nature, the platform combines real map data, live traffic feeds, and AI-driven test scenario generation for clients like Nvidia and Isuzu.
The startup, founded a year ago by Howie Sun and chief scientist Henry Liu, is based on research from the University of Michigan published in 2023. The system uses a modified version of Nvidia's Cosmos platform to replicate real-world locations, combining map data and real-time traffic information.
Automatic checks and difficult scenarios
The system uses artificial intelligence programs to automatically design rare and difficult test scenarios. The company's customers include Isuzu, Bot Auto and Nvidia, while Laplace is participating in Startup Battlefield 200 at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco in October 2026.
