Building Autonomous Surgical Robots to make safe, world-class surgical care accessible to everyone.

Watched Spiderman BND and couldn't stop thinking about Peter talking to an AI assistant that turn a sentence into a physical part.

So i built one. (Open-source)

EVEE - describe a part, the agent designs and prints it for you.

Open-sourced soarm-doctor — tells you exactly which cable, servo, or power supply on your SO-100/SO-101 is broken.

Built with @rerundotio at the @MissionRobotBay hackathon.

It’s time.

Star this github repo for a list of every project, tool, and resource submitted to the Embodied Metal Hackathon.

An underrated power of Claude, Codex, and agent coding: you can point an agent at any repo and implement what's in it.

Use these as reference implementations for things like:

- Set up a YAM arm to follow an SO-101 leader, saving you $3K on a yam leader arm
- Throw a projection on the floor that shows where a robot is thinking about going
- Orchestrate multiple AI models and classical robotics tools in one harness

Congrats to the winners of the Embodied Metal Hackathon 🏆

We're astounded by the response. 70 hackers, 21 robots, 12 teams – and 10 of them shipped working robots by Sunday's live judging. Data collected Saturday, models trained overnight, demos on real hardware.

Read on for the winners 👇

🥇 1st place: @Shiv17Kumr @Physical_Agents

Their incredibly polished, dual-wielding YAM arms worked seamlessly with SO-101 leaders, and an ACT policy trained on a laptop GPU. And their technique taught us we've been cleaning our desks wrong all these years.

$3K + $3K in Modal compute for a robot that cleans, so the world doesn't have to.

[Shivakumar Sridhar @Shiv17Kumr]

I have one obsession. Building something that touches real lives.

And I believe the true potential of Robotics & AI hasn't been used to solve something truly meaningful yet.

That's exactly what I'm chasing.

Last day here in SF, this place is truly inspiring.
I'll be back soon. Stay tuned.

Won the Physical AI Hackathon in SF hosted by @MissionRobotBay 🏆

First time here and this city delivers — everyone builds, everyone brings their best.

Dropping our tech stack breakdown + open-sourcing a few tools we built. Soon.

This is what the future of Robots in manufacturing will look like.
No more programming. Just learning.

What robots couldn't do for years, we at @Physical_Agents trained our robot to do in 15 minutes.

If you're in manufacturing and have a task your current robot can't do - DM me!

[NOU Surgical @NOUSurgical]

@Physical_Agents is bringing Agentic AI to the factory floor.

[Shivakumar Sridhar @Shiv17Kumr]

You can now talk to your manufacturing robots!

We are enabling this @Physical_Agents

[NOU Surgical @NOUSurgical]

Physical Agents is joining Momentum by @Devlabs_club!

We've been selected for this elite 4-week accelerator program, backed by @a16z , @Tiny_Fish , @stripe.

[Shivakumar Sridhar @Shiv17Kumr]

I’m proud to share that @Physical_Agents has secured pre-seed funding at the ASU Venture Devils Demo Day!

We are building the next generation of AI Intelligence for Industrial Robots, making automation smarter and more adaptable than ever.
