Where Physical AI
Founders Build
A hacker house for technical founders building robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and embodied AI systems. Live and build in San Francisco's Nob Hill.
Building AI that moves through the real world
We exclusively support founders working on physical AI — systems that perceive, reason, and act in the physical world. Software alone need not apply.
Humanoid Robotics
General-purpose robots for homes, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
Autonomous Drones
UAVs for delivery, inspection, agriculture, and emergency response.
Self-Driving Vehicles
Autonomous trucks, last-mile delivery, and specialty vehicles.
Computer Vision
3D perception, scene understanding, and visual navigation systems.
Manipulation
Dexterous grasping, assembly, and fine motor control systems.
Embodied AI
Foundation models for physical reasoning and world understanding.
More than a place to live
Physical AI House is a community designed for founders who are serious about building hardware companies. Every aspect of the house is optimized for deep work and meaningful collaboration.
Founder Network
Live alongside 11 other physical AI founders. Share learnings, debug together, and build lasting relationships.
