Physical Intelligence

We build the part where the model meets the motor.

A workshop in Bangkok with arms, printers, cameras and sensors on the bench. Everything we ship to a factory floor runs here first.

Get in touch

The model is the easy half

Foundation models can see and plan. Getting that onto a machine with no interface, in a plant that cannot stop, is the work nobody demos.

A robot needs an examiner

Vision-language-action models are powerful and unpredictable. You cannot ship a robot that works most of the time, so we build the evaluation that says how often, and where it fails.

The last mile is firmware

Between a working model and a working product sit custom firmware, sensor fusion and hardware integration. The most brilliant policy is inert if it cannot talk to a servo.

The lab is a warehouse in Bangkok

Two long benches downstairs, an office upstairs looking down through the windows onto the floor. Arms, printers, cameras, sensors, and the cabling that makes them agree with each other. Anything we put on a client’s floor has already failed a few times here.

Live from the bench

An arm, a laptop, and the loop in between

The arm takes instructions, moves, and reports what happened. That loop is the whole job: perception in, action out, and a record of both that somebody can audit afterwards.

What we build, and where it has run

Embedded systems

Custom firmware for edge devices: BLE, WiFi, sensor integration, OTA updates.

Shipped in fiber-optic dresses shown at New York Fashion Week and in industrial storage towers.

Sensors on machines that have none

Clamp-on current sensing, cameras and edge boxes turn equipment with no telemetry into a live data source. No machine modification, no production stoppage.

Built and wired on our bench, for a cable plant in Thailand where the machines predate any network.

Robot evaluation

Benchmark pipelines for vision-language-action models, in simulation and on real hardware. Does the robot do what you think it does?

Our own arms are the test rig.

Vision on the line

Cameras and detection models watching a process, flagging what a person would flag, at the speed the line runs.

Cameras and a Jetson on a working wire line in Thailand, capturing the footage the detector learns from.

Custom firmware and control

Low-level systems work when the SDK is not enough: direct hardware control, custom protocols, real-time guarantees.

CARB emissions filings captured over an encrypted Bluetooth link to a certified OBD device.

From sensor to system of record

A fault on the floor is only useful once it reaches the system the business runs on. We build that path.

We ran it end to end: a line jam raised as a real SAP maintenance notification and closed there, with SAP computing the downtime. No custom ABAP.

We go where the hardware is

Conferences, partner labs, factory benches in Shenzhen. The robots below are other people’s. Seeing them move in person is how we tell a shipping capability from a good video.

How the work runs

01

Evaluate

We benchmark the hardware and models you already have. What can the system actually do, against what you were told it does?

02

Prototype

Off-the-shelf parts first: ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, cameras. A working proof in your hands before anyone commits to custom hardware.

03

Integrate

Custom firmware, model deployment, sensor fusion, and the path into the system that records the work.

04

Harden

Reliability, OTA updates, monitoring, fail-safes. The unglamorous half that separates a demo from a device you trust in the field.
