FieldAI is the general-purpose brain making robots autonomous in complex, risky, real-world environments. We combine data-driven and physics-based methods to create the Field Foundation Model (FFM), the first risk-aware, physics-first foundation model for general-purpose robots across any robot type. The FFM works through a virtuous data flywheel that receives input, assesses uncertainty, establishes risk, and takes action based on that risk. Each deployment increases reliability and continuously enhances the capabilities of the global fleet, all without pre-trained data, GPS, maps, or pre-programmed routes. Our mission is to deploy autonomous robots at scale in any unstructured environment.
