Luffy AI
"The Control Layer for Physical AI"
Culham, Oxfordshire deep-tech company building Neuroplastic AI control software with about 21-microsecond inference for robots, drives, and drones.
Luffy AI Limited is a UK-based deep-tech company developing adaptive control software for physical systems, based at the Culham Campus in Oxfordshire. The company describes its technology as a control layer for what it calls Physical AI, intended for robots, drives, and other machines operating under changing physical conditions.
Its core technology, Neuroplastic AI, combines evolutionary neuroplastic algorithms with neural networks to build controllers that adapt in real time, positioned as a replacement or complement to PID and Model Predictive Control loops. Luffy AI reports an inference time of about 21 microseconds and a memory footprint of roughly 10 kilobytes, letting the controller run on existing on-board compute with no separate calibration step. Benchmarked against a Google DeepMind reinforcement-learning reference, the company reports roughly 400 times less compute per inference and 200 times greater sample efficiency. Applications include position control for robots and humanoids, self-commissioning loops for drives and motors, multi-motor coordination for drones under wind or rotor-failure conditions, and control of furnace processes and electric powertrains.
The team has backgrounds in physics, mathematics, control theory, and engineering, including former fusion researchers from the UK Atomic Energy Authority and staff with prior roles at Cobham and CERN.
