NextGen HRI

Hello ROS Community! :waving_hand:

After many years at Unity, Volvo - leading simulation, now I’m part of the founding team at MidBrain, a startup building a platform for embodied AI agents that integrate memory, emotion, and perception to simulate human-like behavior.

  • Originally tested in gaming (Minecraft, Unity), we’re now shifting focus to robotics and simulation environments.
    -Currently exploring how our architecture can support:

-Training simulations for human–robot interaction (HRI)
-Adaptive autonomous behavior in physical & virtual spaces
-Lightweight, local models for low-latency, privacy-first logic

Our Goal:
Validate real-world needs for simulation tooling, human behavior modeling, and embodied agent frameworks.

We’d love your input!
Would you be open to a discovery call this or next week? We’re especially eager to connect with:

  • Simulation engineers
  • Robotics experts
  • Human behavior and CV researchers
  • Technical artists modeling behavior in digital twins/crowd simulations

Your insights will directly inform how we shape our MVP and tooling to serve the ROS and robotics community effectively.

Let’s connect! :raising_hands:

(Feel free to DM me or reply here, and we’ll set up a quick chat!)
