Physical Intelligence builds general-purpose AI foundation models, including π0, that aim to let robots understand and carry out physical tasks across many different robot hardware platforms.
Physical Intelligence is among the best-funded labs pursuing a 'foundation model for robotics' approach, aiming to give many different robot bodies a shared, general-purpose AI 'brain' instead of task-specific programming.
Physical Intelligence has not disclosed a commercial product or pricing; it is currently funded by venture investment rather than product revenue.
