PlavnesAbout Us
We are building the future of construction
Plavnes is an ML research lab dedicated to making residential construction fully autonomous. We combine cutting-edge neural networks with practical robotics to solve one of humanity's oldest challenges.
Our Story
Residential construction is one of the last frontiers for full-scale automation. While manufacturing, logistics, and even agriculture have been transformed by intelligent machines, building homes remains a largely manual process.
We founded Plavnes to change that. Our team of ML researchers, robotics engineers, and construction experts is developing the neural frameworks and computer vision systems needed to automate the job site.
By solving the complexities of construction through machine learning, we believe we can increase the speed, safety, and accessibility of housing globally.
Our Values
Safety First
Every system we build prioritizes the safety of workers and occupants above all else.
Rigorous Research
We believe in first-principles thinking and peer-reviewed approaches to solving hard problems.
Real-World Impact
Our work is measured by outcomes in the field, not just performance on benchmarks.
Collaborative Spirit
We partner with construction professionals, academics, and policymakers to drive change.
Our Journey
