This is the problem that Professor Li and her colleagues are trying to solve at World Labs, the company she co-founded in 2024. Their first product, Marble, allows users to create and explore 3D worlds from text, images, or videos, while simultaneously recreating depth and spatial arrangement. One of the main applications of this technology is the creation of simulated environments to train and evaluate robots before their use in the real world. According to TIME magazine, one of the highlights of Professor Rus's research is the development of nature-inspired AI architectures capable of operating efficiently at a significantly smaller scale than classic neural networks trained for the same task. In 2020, Professor Rus and her colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed a microscopic neural network inspired by the nervous system of worms, but capable of controlling cars to stay in their lane. This research direction subsequently became one of the foundations of Liquid AI, a company founded three years later by Professor Rus and her colleagues to develop more powerful AI systems that are also more resource and computationally efficient.
