Physical AI — Formant

We make physical AI succeed in the real world — beyond the demo.

The operating layer for heterogeneous fleets — the governed surface through which physical AI reaches enterprise reality, beneath whatever machines and models win. Picks-and-shovels infrastructure for the physical-AI era.

Capability is no longer the bottleneck. Deployment is.

The first wave of AI was models and software. The larger, longer wave is physical — machines that move, build, inspect, and manufacture. Foundation models for action made machines generalize. The hard part has moved to making physical AI work in the real world: reliably, under governance, beyond the demo.

From the keyboard to the machine

Capital and talent are rotating into physical systems. When the scarcest resources move to a new layer of the stack, it marks a beginning.

The deployment layer is under-funded

Capital pours into the brain and the body — almost none into the connective tissue between them. That gap is the layer we occupy.

The window is open and finite

The build-versus-partner decision for the operations layer is being made now — often once, and durably.

We've operated more physical robots, across more environments, than almost anyone alive.

Key Metrics

Locked and loaded, the day a partner wants to deploy.

Six Pillars

  1. Unmatched deployment record
  2. Every kind of robot
  3. Every kind of environment
  4. Every kind of data
  5. The compounding moat
  6. A delivery model for the wild

Every Kind of Robot

100+ robot types. 12+ morphologies. One governed layer.

Every Kind of Environment

We've deployed where there's no network, no daylight, and no second chance.

Who It's For — The Convergence

Frontier intelligence flows in. Hardware flows in. Governed operations flow out.

The Proof in the Field

Same models. Better context. Outcomes you can measure.

The Moat

You're building machines and models robust to whatever the physical world throws at them. We've spent a decade watching the real world throw it at robots — and captured every bit of it.

A measured deployment in front of you in roughly four months.

Process

  1. Discovery
  2. Boot Camp
  3. Pilot
  4. Deploy + Decide

We come in standing on the track record — but the conversation is about what you're building. Start with a working session.
