Industries

Twelve sectors. One operating standard.

Every sector below is a live operating environment for us — sites we can access, participants we can recruit, and protocols we have run. Same standards, same delivery format, regardless of the industry.

01

Manufacturing

The most structured problem in physical AI — and the one where a policy's error budget is smallest.

Environments we access

  • Assembly and sub-assembly lines
  • Machine shops and press floors
  • Electronics and SMT lines
  • Textile and garment units
  • Pharma packaging halls

What makes it valuable

  • Two-handed assembly with strict sequence
  • Tool use under real torque and resistance
  • Defect calls made in under a second
  • Recovery from mis-feeds and jams

02

Logistics

The highest-volume manipulation problem in the world, and the one with the least predictable object set.

Environments we access

  • E-commerce fulfilment centres
  • Cold-chain and ambient warehouses
  • Parcel sortation hubs
  • Quick-commerce dark stores
  • Truck docks and yards

What makes it valuable

  • Bin picking from genuinely mixed SKUs
  • Carton handling at commercial speed
  • Deformable packaging and polybags
  • Long multi-item picking sequences

03

Agriculture

Deformable, variable, living objects under lighting no indoor dataset contains.

Environments we access

  • Open fields and smallholder plots
  • Greenhouses and polyhouses
  • Orchards and plantations
  • Packhouses and grading lines
  • Dairy sheds

What makes it valuable

  • Delicate grasping without bruising
  • Ripeness and quality judgement
  • Full daylight range, dust and monsoon
  • Occlusion-heavy scenes in dense foliage

04

Retail

Dense shelving, thousands of package geometries, and members of the public in the workspace.

Environments we access

  • Supermarkets and hypermarkets
  • Apparel and footwear stores
  • Pharmacies and convenience formats
  • Dark stores and stockrooms
  • Traditional kirana and wet markets

What makes it valuable

  • Shelf replenishment in tight clearances
  • Fragile and irregular packaging
  • Operating with customers present
  • Constant SKU turnover

05

Healthcare

Protocol-bound work where sequence matters as much as motion, and error is not recoverable.

Environments we access

  • Hospital wards and supply rooms
  • Diagnostic and pathology labs
  • Sterile processing departments
  • Hospital and retail pharmacies

What makes it valuable

  • Strictly ordered, auditable sequences
  • Sterile-field handling constraints
  • Counting and verification behaviour
  • Rare-event and exception handling

06

Hospitality

Heat, liquids, deformables and time pressure — the hardest combination in service robotics.

Environments we access

  • Hotel and banquet kitchens
  • Cloud kitchens and QSR chains
  • Cafés and beverage counters
  • Housekeeping floors

What makes it valuable

  • Cooking judgement under time pressure
  • Plating consistency across repetitions
  • Liquid pouring and transfer
  • Room turnaround as a long-horizon task

07

Construction

A worksite that is different every single day, with heavy payloads and no fixtures.

Environments we access

  • Residential and commercial builds
  • Infrastructure and road projects
  • Prefabrication yards
  • Interior fit-out sites

What makes it valuable

  • Heavy, awkward material handling
  • Tool work on uneven, unstable ground
  • Layout, marking and measurement
  • Scene that changes hour to hour

08

Home

The benchmark environment for humanoids, and the one that cannot be simulated convincingly.

Environments we access

  • Urban apartments across layouts
  • Independent houses
  • Rural and semi-urban households
  • Shared and multi-generational homes

What makes it valuable

  • No two homes are laid out alike
  • Long-horizon, multi-room tasks
  • Cloth, food and clutter together
  • Genuine variation in tools and utensils

09

Office

Shared human space, where a robot's job is as much about not getting in the way as about the task.

Environments we access

  • Corporate campuses
  • Coworking and shared offices
  • Institutional and government buildings
  • Mailrooms and facility stores

What makes it valuable

  • Continuous operation around people
  • Paper and thin-object manipulation
  • Lifts, doors and access control
  • Predictable layout, unpredictable traffic

10

Transportation

Confined access, high torque, and the last fifty metres that no autonomous vehicle solves.

Environments we access

  • Service workshops and tyre bays
  • Fleet and bus depots
  • Ports and container yards
  • Last-mile delivery routes

What makes it valuable

  • Working inside tight, awkward spaces
  • High-torque tool use
  • Doorstep handover to a person
  • Stairs, gates, lifts and gatekeepers

Laboratory

Millimetre precision on small, fragile objects, executed the same way every single time.

Environments we access

  • Commercial testing laboratories
  • Corporate R&D centres
  • Quality-control facilities
  • University and institute labs

What makes it valuable

  • Fine bimanual precision at small scale
  • Protocols that never vary
  • Transparent and reflective glassware
  • Expert gaze as a supervisory signal

Education

Where skilled trades are taught — and where the same task exists in expert and novice form side by side.

Environments we access

  • Industrial training institutes
  • Polytechnics and vocational centres
  • University engineering workshops
  • Skill-development programmes

What makes it valuable

  • Instructor demonstrations, deliberately clear
  • Expert and novice attempts at one task
  • High repetition of the same procedure
  • Failure modes captured, not edited out
