Stanhope AI

Enabling trusted physical AI.

About

Stanhope AI is a London-based company developing a novel approach to autonomous technology that can operate reliably in contested, communications-denied environments. Founded by a team of world experts in computational neuroscience, the company is building an autonomy stack that uses an Active Inference approach, a theory which explains how brains learn and reason in real time. Stanhope has already demonstrated a prototype deployment on a drone which learns about its environment without the need for pre-training. The company represents a possible generational opportunity to invest in the future of robotics and AI.
