About Physical AI Field

Physical AI Field is an independent publication covering the fast-moving intersection of AI and robotics: robot foundation models, world models, vision-language-action models, and the hardware turning them into real products.

What We Do

We compare robot platforms, track pricing, explain the confusing model and software layer, and cover the Chinese robotics companies that Western tech media frequently under-covers. Robotics has a long history of overhyped demos, we try to separate what's shipping from what's a concept video.

What We Cover

• Robot hardware — humanoid robots, robot arms, warehouse and household robots
• Models and software — world models, vision-language-action models, robot foundation models
• Platforms and tooling — ROS 2, NVIDIA Isaac and Cosmos, robot APIs and SDKs
• Pricing and cost — real robot prices, cost of ownership, robot-as-a-service models
• Chinese robotics — Unitree, UBTech, and other companies Western coverage often misses

Our Approach

• We verify specs, pricing, and availability against multiple sources before publishing
• We call out vaporware and announced-but-unshipped products for what they are
• We focus on total cost of ownership, not just the sticker price
• We track funding and launches without treating every press release as a breakthrough

Who This Is For

Developers building on robot platforms, businesses evaluating robotics investments, and anyone trying to make sense of a category that changes every month.
