SE3 Labs

We are looking forward to being a part of the Defence TechDay Erding tomorrow where more than 1,300 have already signed up. Come by our stand indoors to find out how SE3 Labs' Spatial AI enables systems to act autonomously in the physical world.

Last week our co-founder and CEO Lukas Koestler joined Stuart Skeates, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Billups MBE, Volodymyr “Colt”, Bryan Grubert, MBA, and Iryna Terekh for a panel discussion on deep precision effects at Apex Europe. Lukas highlighted that GNSS-denied navigation is a key capability for deep precision strike, including at night and at low altitudes. The panel also discussed how software updates across different platforms, enabled by a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), can support the continuous increase of stockpiles while keeping systems up to date.

At Bits & Pretzels last week, our co-founder and CEO Lukas Koestler joined Ralf Gulde, Milan Allan and Philipp Gerbert for a panel discussion on physical AI. He also sat down with Feliks Eyser for a live recording of Founder Mode. We also joined the Defence Alliance’s Founding Circle. Under the patronage of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the alliance brings together startups, industry, investors, researchers and military users. Thank you to Lippold von Oldershausen, Arne Eilers and the Defence Alliance team for bringing this group together, and to our fellow panellists and Feliks Eyser for the conversations.

I gave a talk at the ECCV 2026 Area Chair Workshop today! If you're in Malmö come see my talks in the following workshops: Sep 8th,11:30-12:00 in the "Workshop on Visual Localization and Mapping (ViLMa)" ( Malmömässan K2) Sep 9th, 9:40-10:10 "Workshop on 3D in the Era of World Models (3DWM)" (Malmö Arena Panorama 1) Sep 9th, 11:10-11:30 "DriveX Workshop" (Room 207) Want to hear about recent developments in 3D computer vision for autonomous systems? Or what we can learn from Heraclitus and Einstein about dynamic scene reconstruction? Then drop by at one of the above talks!

Wir freuen uns, das Spezialpionierregiment 164 aus Husum mit Battlefield 3D unterstützen zu können. Für ein Team wie unseres gibt es wenig Besseres, als die eigene Technologie im echten Einsatz durch den Nutzer erprobt zu sehen. Erst das direkte Feedback der Truppe aus den Testreihen macht aus guter Technologie die bestmögliche Lösung für den Einsatz. Entscheidend ist für uns, dass sich Technologie in bestehende Abläufe einfügt. Unsere Software ist unabhängig von der Trägerplattform, interoperabel mit Führungssystemen wie SitaWare und skaliert je nach Auftrag vom einzelnen Geländeabschnitt bis zum großräumigen Lagebild. Danke an den Bundeswehr Cyber Innovation Hub für das Tempo. Jetzt geht es weiter!

Today at the BWI Industry Days 2026, our Co-Founder & CEO Lukas Koestler will speak about spatial understanding as a prerequisite for autonomous robotics – and what it takes for machines to reliably perceive, reason and act in complex environments. 🚀 14:40 | Saal 10 | Session 13

𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴. One that doesn't just understand language, but the physical world. Over the past years, advances in AI have transformed how machines process information. Yet one of the hardest challenges remains unsolved: enabling autonomous systems to perceive, reason about and act within complex real-world environments. At SE3 Labs, we've been working on that challenge from day one. Today, we're sharing more about the technology, the team and the mission behind SE3 Labs at Handelsblatt, Sifted and der-spiegel: building the Spatial AI layer for the next generation of autonomous systems. Our technology transforms raw sensor data into a continuously evolving 3D understanding of the environment, enabling autonomous systems to navigate without GPS, understand complex terrain and coordinate across aerial and ground platforms in real time. We believe that spatial understanding will become a foundational capability for the next generation of autonomous systems, just as language understanding became foundational for today's AI systems. Thank you to Nadine Schimroszik, Martin Hesse and Anne Sraders for the insightful discussion about Spatial AI, autonomy and the future of intelligent systems. This is just the beginning.

We are proud to announce our Memorandum of Understanding with ERC System - a strategic partnership at the intersection of advanced autonomy software and hybrid-electric aviation platforms. ERC develops hybrid-electric eVTOL platforms for demanding commercial and defense missions. We contribute the AI autonomy layer: onboard intelligence that enables systems to plan, navigate, and decide independently, even in degraded environments. Our technical collaboration will focus on autonomous mission planning and navigation in GNSS-denied environments, intelligent landing site detection, swarming and teaming concepts, and the development of future intelligent eVTOL and UAV platforms capable of understanding and adapting to their environment. Together, we are working to make truly autonomous, mission-capable unmanned systems a reality. #AutonomousSystems #DefenseTech #eVTOL #Autonomy
