UNITI AI Labs
The science of Physical AI Infrastructure.
UNITI AI Labs is an open research program defining the architectures, scheduling theory, market design and safety models for a new infrastructure category. We work with universities, public research institutes, utilities and standards bodies across Europe.
Research areas
R/01
Distributed AI Infrastructure
- →How do we orchestrate inference across millions of heterogeneous nodes?
- →What are the right consistency models for distributed model state?
- →How do we measure quality-of-compute across a mesh?
R/02
Energy-Aware AI Scheduling
- →How do we schedule workloads to follow renewables and grid headroom?
- →What is the carbon-optimal placement of an inference job?
- →How do we co-optimize compute, charging and V2G dispatch?
R/03
Vehicle-Native Compute Networks
- →What runtimes are safe inside automotive-grade SoCs?
- →How do we isolate third-party workloads from vehicle safety domains?
- →What is the right networking stack for moving compute nodes?
R/04
AI Infrastructure Markets
- →How do we price idle compute and storage on a distributed network?
- →What settlement and reputation systems make this trustless?
- →How do we integrate with EU electricity and capacity markets?
R/05
Physical AI Systems
- →What architectures emerge when sensing, compute and actuation co-locate?
- →How does Physical AI Infrastructure interact with robotics fleets?
- →What is the right interface between digital twins and the physical layer?
