Physical Intelligence

Physical Intelligence (often abbreviated as Pi, not to be confused with Inflection AI's chatbot) is a robotics AI company developing foundation models for physical-world interaction. The company aims to build general-purpose AI systems that can control any robot to perform any task, analogous to how LLMs can handle any text task.

Physical Intelligence's approach treats robotic control as a foundation model problem: train on diverse manipulation data at scale to produce a general-purpose policy that can transfer across different robot embodiments and tasks. The company has demonstrated its models performing complex manipulation tasks including laundry folding, object assembly, and tool use.

Physical Intelligence represents the embodied AI frontier of the agentic economy, working to extend the foundation model paradigm from digital agents to physical robots that interact with the real world.
