About UrbanMind
UrbanMind is an advanced urban planning and intelligence platform that leverages tool-enhanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework to facilitate urban general intelligence (UGI). The platform offers city-level simulations that model infrastructure development, population growth dynamics, and environmental factors to support comprehensive urban planning initiatives. UrbanMind implements a C-RAG-LLM (Continual Retrieval-Augmented MoE-based LLM) architecture that integrates continual learning and tool-augmented reasoning to support dynamic, context-aware decision-making in complex urban environments. The system continuously retrieves domain-specific knowledge and incrementally adapts to evolving data distributions, enabling long-term adaptability in urban planning scenarios. UrbanMind features collaborative multi-stakeholder visualization capabilities that allow urban planners, policymakers, developers, and community members to work together on urban development projects. The platform can be deployed in a cloud-edge distributed manner, supporting efficient computation, real-time responsiveness, and privacy preservation by processing sensitive data locally on edge devices. UrbanMind's multilevel optimization framework coordinates continual retrieval, knowledge integration, and model adaptation to ensure stable learning under non-stationary and out-of-distribution data conditions. The platform transforms smart city data into actionable insights for sustainable urban development and climate-neutral planning.

Autonomous platform retrofitting heavy earthmoving equipment to operate independently for mining, site prep, and infrastructure work

AIM Intelligent Machines is a Seattle-area autonomous platform company founded in 2021 that retrofits heavy earthmoving machinery—including bulldozers, excavators, dozers, loaders, and skid steers—to operate completely autonomously. The platform represents the first embodied AI system designed specifically for earthmoving operations, combining sensor technology from autonomous vehicles with a proprietary software stack built exclusively for construction and mining applications. AIM's plug-and-play retrofit solution works with equipment regardless of make, model, size, or age, using LiDAR sensors and edge compute systems to create real-time 3D maps and autonomously handle dig, haul, plow, fill, and level operations without human operators in the vehicle. A remote supervision platform enables one operator to manage an entire site of autonomous equipment, dramatically improving safety and productivity. The company raised $50M in Series A funding (June 2025) from top-tier investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and others. AIM's technology transforms high-risk environments by creating zero-entry worksites where personnel are never near earthmoving equipment, significantly reducing workplace hazards. The company is built by engineers with experience at Waymo, SpaceX, Google, Stripe, Tesla, and Apple. Initial deployments span construction and mining operations across the U.S. and Australia, with applications in highway demolition, wind turbine foundation work, residential site grading, and solar farm pile driving. AIM projects expanding autonomous earthmoving capabilities to terraforming applications on Earth and eventually other planets.
