Company mission

To power the robots of today and the physically-actuated devices of the future.

Our take

To empower intelligent robotics and devices, Physical Intelligence is developing general purpose AI for the physical world. The company is working to create the foundation models and learning algorithms that will support smarter robots and devices today and in the future.

The company is in its early stages, so there is little concrete information to go on, although the team behind it seems eager to share more information soon. Physical Intelligence is backed by the support of Khosla Ventures, Lux Capital, OpenAI, Sequoia Capital and Thrive Capital.
