After two years of building quietly, I’m proud to share what our team at FieldAI has been working on.
With an all-star team from DeepMind, NASA JPL, Google Brain, Amazon, SpaceX, Nvidia, DARPA, Tesla, Microsoft, and more, who have driven many of the past decade’s major breakthroughs in “field robotics,” we are building general-purpose robotic intelligence that works across industries and environments. Unlike end-to-end models, our physics-first architecture combines data-driven methods with advanced physics-based uncertainty quantification, purpose-built for safety-critical applications. This new class of models, called Field Foundation Models (FFMs), is risk-aware and embodiment-agnostic, enabling robots to operate in complex, unpredictable, real-world settings.
Today, I’m excited to announce that we have raised over $400 million from a world-class and visionary group of investors including Bezos Expeditions, BHP, Canaan, EmersonCollective, GatesFrontier, IntelCapital, Khosla, Nvidia, Prysm, Samsung, Temasek, and more. Their support reflects the real-world impact already underway, and we’re proud to partner with investors who bring deep understanding of both deep tech and the business of robotics.
Above all, I want to give a huge shout-out to our extraordinary team. Developing and deploying real-world robotic AI is a very different journey from building many other product classes, and I’ve been fortunate to work alongside a truly best-in-class group that pushes the boundaries of innovation in physical AI every day while demonstrating relentless customer obsession. In just two years, creating a new model, deploying at customer sites, and expanding with those customers across the globe, from Japan to Europe to the US, stands as a true testament to this incredible team.
Having reached major milestones and retired key risks in our model architecture, this raise will accelerate our productization and business scale-up. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, are excited about AGI in robotics, and want to help build products that customers love—we’re expanding. Today, FFMs are deployed across construction, security, energy, manufacturing, and urban operations, automating labor-intensive tasks and proving that safer, more reliable autonomy at scale is not only possible but transformative. We look forward to sharing more as FieldAI continues to grow our technology and impact worldwide.
