HYPRLABS Inc.
"Learning Directly from Reality"
San Francisco AI robotics company founded 2020; HYPRDRIVE no-priors run-time learning autonomy stack enabling navigation without pre-mapped environments.
HYPRLABS Inc. is an AI robotics company founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, with an additional presence in Paris, France. The company was co-founded by Tim Kentley-Klay, original co-founder and chief architect of Zoox (the autonomous robotaxi company acquired by Amazon), who holds 125 granted patents spanning autonomy, software, and hardware.
HYPRLABS emerged from stealth in December 2025 with HYPRDRIVE (also branded HYPR ACTV), a proprietary 'no-priors' AI architecture designed to maximize Learning Velocity — the speed at which a robot converts exposure to its environment into operational intelligence. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on hand-coded rules, labeled training data, classical simulation, or HD maps, HYPRDRIVE employs Run-time Learning (RTL), enabling robots to learn in-situ directly from real-world interaction without pre-training crutches.
The architecture was validated through autonomous navigation trials in downtown San Francisco using a vehicle equipped with only five vision cameras and a single NVIDIA Orin AGX, consuming just 33 watts of power. The platform is designed for domain-general robotics applications including autonomous vehicles, mobile robots, and other intelligent systems that must adapt to unstructured real-world environments.
HYPRLABS has raised $15M in funding and has announced a first commercial product planned for 2026. The company's official website is hypr.co. Note: hypr.ai redirects to HYPR Corp (hypr.com), a separate cybersecurity/passwordless authentication company — HYPRLABS is the robotics entity at hypr.co.
