Every project starts with a question: how can we make this better? Our team thrives on curiosity, creativity, and solving challenges that others wouldn’t dare touch. It's at the root of everything we do.
For James Penrose and his team at Locust, that question led to creating systems of quad-copters designed to operate in swarms. Small, agile, and capable of working together to solve complex challenges. What started as a curiosity-driven experiment quickly became a real-world solution, pushing the boundaries of autonomous systems.
At Matter Labs, we thrive on curiosity, creativity, and tackling challenges others wouldn’t dare touch. James’ work with Locust is a perfect example of that mindset in action.
