About Luffy AI
Luffy AI develops neuroplastic control software intended to sit inside the control layer of physical systems. The software covers robot position control, motor and drive loops, drone flight and thermal processes. It adapts to changing loads, contact forces, wind disturbances, payloads and equipment wear while remaining within an existing hardware footprint.
The controllers adapt to system dynamics without a calibration phase and can run across different configurations without retuning. In drives, the software supports self-commissioning and reduced ongoing tuning; in flight, it supports multi-motor coordination and stability.
