Mechatronics, Intelligence, Actuation & Operation

Robotics from first principles to real-world impact. We model motion, learn policies, build hardware, and put machines to work.

Robotics Embodied intelligence From motion to real-world impact

01 Four disciplines

One loop.
Four disciplines.

miao brings the physics, the learning, the hardware and the field into one conversation. Each pillar is useless alone; together they close the distance between a model and a working machine.

01

Mechatronics 机电一体化

Model · Control · Motion
Contact · Simulation

Before a robot moves, we model how it can. Kinematics, rigid-body dynamics, contact and control connect every policy to the physics of the machine, in simulation and in the real world.

02

Intelligence 智能

Perception · Learning · Reasoning
Decision · Foundation Models

Sensing becomes decisions. We train policies in simulation, ground them in real observations, and test whether they generalise beyond the conditions they were born in.

03

Actuation 驱动

Actuators · Mechanisms · Hardware
Power · Sensing

Intent becomes torque. Motors, transmissions and electronics decide whether a controller survives contact, so we treat the hardware as part of the algorithm, not a detail after it.

04

Operation 运动执行

Locomotion · Manipulation
Task Execution · Deployment

Locomotion, manipulation and task execution in unstructured space. Field deployment is the experiment no simulation can replace, and the place where the next question comes from.

02 How it fits together

A closed loop,
not a pipeline.

Models meet hardware, hardware meets the world, and the world sends data back. Every deployment is also a measurement.

  1. 01

    Model

    Dynamics, contact and control define what the machine can physically do.

    Mechatronics
  2. 02

    Learn

    Simulation turns that model into policies, and policies into behaviour.

    Intelligence
  3. 03

    Actuate

    Motors and mechanisms turn commands into motion with limits of their own.

    Actuation
  4. 04

    Operate

    Real terrain, real payloads, real failure modes. The field sets the next problem.

    Operation

04 Open by default

The door
is open.

We publish code, share what works, and keep the experiments visible. If you build robots, you already have something to add.
