FieldAI has raised $700 million at a $10 billion valuation — more than quadrupling its worth in just over a year.

The company builds no robots. It sells a “universal general-purpose brain” designed to run humanoids, drones, robot dogs and industrial rovers across different hardware platforms.

The thesis is clear: robot hardware will keep commoditizing. The durable value sits in the intelligence layer that can control many bodies.

FieldAI now has more than $135 million in revenue and customer contracts, with $35 million added since June. Backers include Nvidia, Intel, and Hyundai Motor Group.

It sits in a three-way race with Physical Intelligence (~$11B) and Skild AI (~$14B) to own that layer.

For buyers the question is shifting: do you buy a robot whose intelligence is locked to one manufacturer, or one running a third-party brain that can move across platforms later? The second option buys flexibility — and adds a new vendor dependency.
