Field AI develops embodied AI and robot autonomy systems designed to operate in challenging real-world environments where conventional approaches fail. The company specialises in navigation and autonomous operation in GPS-denied conditions, unstructured terrain, and environments without prior maps - capabilities demonstrated through deployments in caves and other demanding industrial and defence settings. Field AI ships operational robotic systems globally rather than limiting itself to research or simulation.
The company's technical foundation rests on foundation models tailored for field robotics, physics-first systems design emphasising robustness, and applied research for unstructured environments. Field AI Federal serves as the vehicle for scaling these technologies to government and defence applications. The team comprises engineers, researchers, and field deployment specialists, drawing talent from organisations including NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, DeepMind, Tesla, and NVIDIA.
Headcount expanded rapidly from approximately 30 people at the end of 2024 to 130 team members in 2025, reflecting the company's growth trajectory. The organisation prioritises practical field application alongside technical depth, with a focus on enabling productivity, safety, and efficiency through autonomy in the most demanding industrial and defence environments.
