Physical Robotics builds humanoid robots focused on upper-body dexterity and precise manipulation for manufacturing and healthcare. The Pi robot uses a Physical Intelligence Brain to sense, learn, and respond to its environment, enabling safe, cooperative work with humans. The company combines AI, physical intelligence, robotics, humanoid robotics, and deep reinforcement learning with model-based control and data-driven policies. It operates with a SaaS model and targets manufacturing and healthcare customers, aiming to deploy its solutions at scale in real-world settings.

Physical Robotics | Norway (Oslo–Viken) | Core Team | Make History
We’re not hiring “a developer.” We’re recruiting a championship engineer .
Humanoid robots will become the next industrial revolution: A new labor layer that can do real work in factories, logistics, and environments humans avoid. Most teams will build demos. A few will ship reliable humanoids in the real world .
We’re building that team.
Small team. High standards. Big ambition.

The mission
Physical Robotics is a Norway-based humanoid robotics company founded by Dr. Phuong Nguyen (ex–cofounder of 1X Technologies ) and backed by Skyfall Ventures together with leading Norwegian industrial partners and investors. Our objective is to build a world-class humanoid by unifying high-performance hardware with physical intelligence -the capability to perceive, plan, and act robustly in real-world environments.
We are building for the next inflection point: Broad industrial deployment of humanoids in manufacturing and operations . We expect adoption to accelerate in 2027–2028 , and our strategy is to arrive at that wave with a platform that is production-grade, scalable, and operationally reliable -not a lab prototype. We benchmark ourselves against the strongest global players- Tesla, Figure, Boston Dynamics, Toyota, Xiaomi, 1X Technologies
At Physical Robotics, we are building the software foundation for a humanoid robot platform: Fast, reliable, debuggable, and production-oriented. This is the kind of software that touches reality -hardware, sensors, timing, constraints, safety.
You will help set the pace, the bar, and the architecture that the company scales on.
