How is sitcom writing like building physical AI systems?
Sitcoms don’t succeed because of one great episode. They succeed because the world they build can keep generating new stories. Physical AI faces the same test. As programs mature, platforms must carry learning forward across time, people, and projects. From serviceable hardware and expressive kinematics to intuitive teleoperation, coherent SDKs, and data continuity, we design physical AI systems to support long arcs of real work—not one-off demos.

What Our Support Inbox Is Teaching Us About How Teams Succeed with Robotics
Our support inbox isn’t just troubleshooting. It’s a window into how real teams succeed with robotics. Every question reveals how data practices, intuitive teleoperation, system stability, and clear integration paths shape progress in the real world. By staying close to support conversations, we’re learning what helps teams move faster, stay confident, and build momentum—and using those insights to design tools that scale with real work, not demos.
