Physical intelligence,
Robots that build — and learn what work actually is.
We put purpose-built robots on real jobsites, then turn every hour of real work into physical-work data no one else has. Construction today; general capability next. No humanoids, no faked data.

The bet
You can't download physical work.
The next frontier of AI isn't digital — it's physical, and the data to build it doesn't exist yet. Physical work demands the whole stack: the robots, the real-world data, and the intelligence that runs them. That data can't be scraped or downloaded. It has to be done.
Digital AI
Reads everything ever written.
An LLM is one model for all of language — trained on a web that already exists.
Physical AI — what we build
Does everything ever built.
One platform learning from real jobs, generating the physical-work data that doesn't exist yet.
Real work is the only data that generalizes — across every trade.
So every robot we field is a data-collection machine. The work they do becomes the aggregated, real-world dataset physical AI runs on — one platform, compounding with every hour on the job.

Our position
While others chase humanoids or fake the data with sim and teleop rigs, we put purpose-built robots on real jobsites — and turn every hour of real work into the data that compounds toward general physical intelligence.
01
Months, not years.
Purpose-built robots, designed and shipped in months — not decade-long humanoid moonshots.
02
Real work, real data.
Every jobsite hour is physical-work data no one else has. No proxies, no sim rigs, no faked data.
03
The data compounds.
Each trade makes the next one faster — and the data compounds toward general capability.

Why now
Construction is running out of people.
The data-center buildout is exploding, the skilled trades are aging out, and crews can't pull cable fast enough or safely enough to keep up. The fix isn't more hiring. It's automation.

The focus
Wattson pulls cable.
Data centers are going up faster than crews can wire them. Wattson is our autonomous wire-pulling system — a feeder and a puller working together to run conduit and pull cable from device box to panel. It takes on one of the most dangerous, labor-scarce jobs in the buildout, the work crews can least afford to fall behind on. In pilots now.

Field-validated
Tyler.
The trade can't hire fast enough. Tyler is our flooring robot — a 50-lb chassis that scans a commercial floor and installs tile, vinyl, or carpet at about 100 sq ft an hour with one operator. It proved the construction-automation thesis in the field.

Next up
Trey runs the tray.
Every data center runs miles of cable overhead. Trey is our two-robot system for filling the tray. A Puller drives inside the overhead cable tray, drawing bundles along the run; a Clamper follows and straps them down — collapsing three manual lift-traverses into one coordinated pass, and capturing an install record as it goes. In build now.

Where we deploy
Built for the data-center buildout.
We start where the need is sharpest — hyperscale and colocation data centers. The same autonomy carries to any commercial site where the buildout outpaces the crews that can staff it.
