About Field AI

Field AI is an Irvine, California robotics-software startup founded in 2023 that builds 'Field Foundation Models' (FFMs) - physics-first, risk-aware embodied-AI models that let robots navigate and operate in complex, unstructured environments without prior maps, GPS or predefined paths. Its hardware-agnostic 'robot brains' have been deployed across quadrupeds, humanoids, wheeled robots and passenger-scale vehicles. Founded by NASA JPL, DARPA and DeepMind veterans, it is backed by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Nvidia and Temasek.
