Physical AI Fellowship

Cohort 2, 2026

Burro

Burro builds autonomous robots that support laborers by automating routine, repetitive tasks in industries ranging from large-scale nurseries to family owned orchards, depot yards, industrial operations, and beyond. Designed to function like a coworker and amplify crew productivity, Burro leverages a combination of adaptive AI and rugged hardware to help organizations overcome labor shortages, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and get more out of their existing workforce.


Config

Config builds data infrastructure and foundation models that enable robots to perform real-world tasks involving both arms. Leveraging an in-house foundation model trained on large-scale action data and rapid automated pipelines for iterative model and data improvement, Config enables robotic systems to adapt to new tasks and be deployed within days.


Deltia.ai

Deltia.ai is a Berlin-based AI company that turns shop-floor cameras into an intelligence layer for manufacturing, tracking human and machine processes to eliminate inefficiencies, deliver productivity gains of 20-40%, and build the data foundation for industrial automation. Trusted by global manufacturers including ABB, Bosch, and Continental, Deltia is uniquely positioned to power the next generation of industrial robotics.


Haply Robotics

Haply Robotics is building the human interface layer for Physical AI, enabling machines to understand and interact with the world through touch. Its technology captures human motion and force with high precision, transforming touch and manipulation into data that powers robotics, automation, and intelligent systems.


Luminous Robotics

Luminous unlocks scalable solar energy to combat labor and logistics bottlenecks jeopardizing our planet’s trajectory to a more sustainable future. Freeing construction workers from repetitive heavy lifting of solar panels in large solar farm projects, our robot fleets enable faster, safer, and more cost effective installations at scale.


Roboto AI

Roboto is the analytics engine for Physical AI, enabling teams to search, process, and analyze multimodal logs at scale. By surfacing key events and edge cases, Roboto transforms robotics data into a performance flywheel that continuously improves fleet reliability.


Telexistence

Telexistence Inc. accelerates the transition to a sustainable automation economy by deploying Physical AI and autonomous robots at commercial scale. With its robotic solutions already operating as an established business across Japan’s convenience store chains, the company is now deploying next-generation, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) powered humanoids into actual retail production to automate complex store operations.


Terra Robotics

Terra Robotics is developing the Terra Weeder, a smart tractor implement which scans the fields, identifies weeds and eliminates them with high powered lasers. Terra Robotics’ mission is to help professional farmers reduce their dependency on manual labor and chemical herbicides by introducing field-proven laser weeding technology that works within real farming constraints.


WIRobotics

WiRobotics is building humanoid robots to bring physical AI into the real world. The company develops high-performance robotic platforms with high-dexterity hands and advanced actuation systems designed for real-world manipulation across industrial, service, and research environments.
