Applied Research

Meridian Labs

Meridian Labs is an applied research group working on problems where software meets the physical world. We prototype, test, and publish — then hand off to product teams who can ship. Founded inside a logistics company, we spun out in 2023 to work across industries. Our researchers come from MIT, ETH Zurich, and KAIST. We publish openly and license commercially.
