We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. Nicholas Nadeau is joining NRN as an advisor. A leading mind in robotics, AI, and hard-tech systems, Nicholas brings a rare blend of engineering rigor and builder experience—the kind of strategic insight that will accelerate our mission to redefine how embodied intelligence is built, benchmarked, and deployed. Why Nicholas Fits Perfectly • Co-Founder & CTO at Onix: Leads a Montréal-based AI company pioneering Personal Intelligence™—private, human-centered AI that empowers individuals rather than exploits their data. • Former CTO at 1X: Helped pioneer humanoid robotics for human-robot collaboration and was instrumental in scaling the company with leading global investors, including OpenAI. • Proven Deep-Tech Leader: Advises and co-founds ventures across AI and robotics, mentors startups through Creative Destruction Lab and Next AI, and bridges research, productization, and commercialization. • Academic & Industry Authority: Holds a PhD in Robotics and AI, coupling frontier innovation with a pragmatic drive to bring ideas to life. What This Means for NRN • Technical Depth: Guiding our roadmap to build the global evaluation and reproducibility standard for embodied AI—across both simulation and real-world systems. • Network Leverage: Opening access to leading labs, research hubs, and AI institutions driving the frontier of embodied intelligence. • Credibility & Acceleration: Infusing veteran leadership to convert breakthrough concepts into real-world impact at scale. From Dr. Nicholas Nadeau: “I’m excited to support NRN’s mission to advance embodied intelligence through rigorous evaluation and reproducible progress. By building a trusted performance layer that connects simulation and the physical world, we’re setting the foundation for transparent benchmarking and measurable real-world advancement.” Looking Ahead Nicholas’s addition strengthens our core—deepening our technical bench and amplifying our reach as we shape the next era of embodied AI and robotics. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements as we expand our advisory network and unveil the next phase of the roadmap.
