FieldAI raises funds to advance universal brains for humanoid robots

FieldAI, a robotics startup backed by Bill Gates, has raised $405 million in funding from investors including Nvidia’s venture capital arm, Jeff Bezos’ family office, Khosla Ventures, Temasek, Intel Capital, and others. Valued at $2 billion, the two-year-old company is experiencing rapid growth driven by strong customer demand for its robotics platform. FieldAI’s technology centers on its proprietary Field Foundation Models (FFMs), which are physics-first, risk-aware AI systems designed specifically for robotics. Unlike approaches that adapt language or vision models, FFMs manage uncertainty and physical constraints in dynamic real-world environments without relying on maps, GPS, or predefined routes. These models are hardware-agnostic and can be applied across various robot types, including humanoids, quadrupeds, wheeled robots, and passenger-scale vehicles. FieldAI’s robots are already deployed globally across industries such as construction, energy, logistics, manufacturing, and urban delivery, operating autonomously at the edge and integrating
