@wbztv.bsky.social featured Basis researcher @nickjourjine.bsky.social yesterday discussing our rat research in Boston! We’re using thermal video, acoustic monitoring, and AI to study urban rats’ behavior and help cities manage rat populations humanely. Watch here: www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Last week Basis researchers attended the National Urban Rat Summit, where ralphpeterson.bsky.social presented our work using acoustic monitoring to study rat behavior, while nickjourjine.bsky.social showcased monitoring devices on a “rat walk” 🐀. Ralph spoke with WBUR: www.wbur.org/news/2026/09...

wbur.orgRats are constantly talking to each other. In Boston, scientists are using AI to eavesdropBy mapping their vocal repertoire and building a rat "dictionary," nonprofit AI group Basis Research Institute hopes to help the city map where rats are, where they’ll go next and determine whether de...

We’re presenting the benchmark and our latest experimental results *today* at two relevant ICML workshops we’re sponsoring: Programmatic Representations for Agent Learning (PRAL) and Assessing World Models.

Basis is proud to be an R&D creator in @aria-research.bsky.social's Robot Dexterity programme, led by Programme Director @jennycaread.bsky.social. Our team is developing a rational automated design agent that can perform end-to-end co-design of robot morphologies with their controllers. (1/3)

Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA)@aria-research.bsky.social

From developing a next-gen electronic skin for robots, to crafting novel tech for muscle-like actuation, introducing the next seven teams we’re funding in Robot Dexterity. (1/2)
