Z Lab / Projects / Building now
Model. System. Machine.
Three connected tracks move frontier AI from model output into real-world action: a reference robot, the system layer that gives it agency, and original hardware that enables new forms of embodiment.
Active portfolio / 01—03
The current stack.
ZENO
A reproducible, agent-ready reference robot designed around short real-robot loops.
Physical Agent System
A composable runtime carrying decisions through perception, control, and feedback.
Original Hardware
Electronic skin, wheel-leg mechanisms, actuators, and new robot embodiments.
Operating loop / 04
Close the loop quickly.
Z Lab moves between software and hardware without treating them as separate organizations. An agent capability can trigger a new control adapter, gripper, sensing surface, or mobility experiment; a hardware prototype can expose the next software question. That short cross-disciplinary loop is the working method.
