FieldAI Coffee Talks: Physical AI for the Real World

​Massachusetts was building robots before it was a category. The labs are here. The hardware is here. The people who have actually made machines work outside a lab are here.

​FieldAI Coffee Talks is a morning meetup for them.

​Two hours, good coffee, and the conversations that usually only happen after the demo breaks. Perception and controls engineers, researchers, founders, operators, students — anyone building embodied AI in Greater Boston, or curious about what happens when a robot leaves the lab and the map runs out.

About FieldAI

​FieldAI is building one autonomy for all robots — and a growing share of that work happens here.

​Our founders' research roots run through MIT, NASA JPL, and DARPA's underground challenges, and our R&D organization is now based in Boston, next door to the labs and hardware companies that made this region robotics' center of gravity. The team came from DeepMind, JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Zoox, Cruise, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX.

​What we're building: Field Foundation Models™ — physics-first, risk-aware foundation models designed from the ground up for embodied intelligence, not retrofitted from vision or language. In practice that means perception, planning, localization, and manipulation with explainability and safety treated as first-class constraints, plus multi-robot simulation and fleet orchestration. The goal is robots that work in unstructured, GPS-denied environments with no prior maps and no predefined paths — one brain, many embodiments, many tasks.

​We're hiring in Boston. Come find us at the event, or start here: https://jobs.lever.co/field-ai/63922c78-4646-45dd-bf63-6e8f7fb08d49

Space is capped so the room stays a conversation, not an audience. RSVP below.
