2025 Research Showcase

​Join us for the 2025 Manifold Research Showcase, a year-end presentation of the most impactful breakthroughs across our research programs.

​This event marks a milestone in our mission; highlighting the systems, ideas, and prototypes that defined our work in 2025. From foundational advances in AI and robotics to bold experiments in distributed autonomy and orbital assembly, this showcase is a window into the future we’re building.

Expect a curated set of high-signal lightning talks from teams across Manifold, sharing the results of a year’s worth of deep research and systems work. Topics span:

• ​Generalist AI systems and multimodal control

• ​Self-assembling spacecraft and modular architectures

• ​Adaptive agents and learning in dynamic environments

• ​Tools and infrastructure for open research at scale

​Each talk will reflect the same values we bring to all our work: clarity, ambition, and execution.

Manifold is a research organization building breakthrough technologies through tightly scoped, high-impact research programs.
We combine academic rigor with engineering velocity, operating at the intersection of AI, robotics, and systems design.

​Our goal is to unlock new capabilities for humanity, and do it in the open.

​​​​​​We’re growing our core team and pursuing new projects. If you’re interested in working together or collaborating, see our website for active initiatives and open positions, join the conversation on Discord and check out our Github.
