Enabling physical AI at scale
We're building infrastructure that enables robots to run AI workloads at scale in the physical world. Our product integrates robotics hardware with AI models and software so companies can deploy physical AI without building everything from scratch.
We don't have a fixed location now and plan to base the company where YC recommends after acceptance.
Our team is currently remote and flexible. We'll be wherever it makes the most sense to grow the company post-YC, so we want to follow YC's location guidance.
