Written for whoever inside your organisation has to approve the work and explain it afterwards. No fixed terms here. This page exists to open the conversation, not to close it before fit has been established on both sides.
We work on hard problems in computer vision, sensor fusion, embodied AI and real-time control for physical systems — the class of problem where off-the-shelf tools and standard consulting engagements do not reach.
Our research network spans Sapienza University in Rome, UC Berkeley and Stanford. The work is published at CVPR, ICLR, ECCV, IROS and AAAI. Our anchor industrial relationship is a multi-year partnership with Panasonic, a global industrial technology leader — which we can speak to as evidence of how we work, even where the project detail stays confidential.
From first conversation to an active working engagement typically runs a few months — long enough to scope correctly, not so long that momentum is lost.
We start by understanding the technical problem, defining what a successful outcome looks like, and building a research plan around it. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that the problem is not research-shaped — we say so.
Work is structured around defined deliverables at each stage, agreed upfront. Nothing is open-ended.
Progress is reported on a business cadence, separate from the technical detail: plain-language updates on what has been delivered and what comes next, without needing to track the research day to day.
At each milestone we deliver a defined output and a plain-language explanation of what it means for the capability being built. The update should go straight into your own internal reporting — to finance, to leadership, to whoever needs to know the programme is on track.
If you cannot clearly explain what you are paying for and how you will know it is working, the engagement has not been scoped correctly. That is what the milestone structure exists to prevent.
We structure partnerships to build something that keeps returning value after the engagement, rather than a standard consulting arrangement. What that looks like depends on your context, and we are happy to work through it.
No formal proposal required to begin. We assess fit on both sides before any commitment is made.
