Shop cam · plug handlingTactile foundation model.
A sensorimotor model trained on vision, touch, proprioception, and language together. Touch is a first-class input, not an afterthought. The model learns to anticipate contact, not just react to it.
[FI] About
We build robots that feel.
Factory Intelligence is a physical AI company training tactile foundation models for the real world. We build in Lafayette, Indiana, where the work is, and in San Francisco, where the models are trained.
[03] The loop
Four pieces. One loop.
Each piece feeds the next, and the last feeds back into the first. This is the whole company in four moves.

Macro · torque to specReal-time safety layer.
A classical control layer sits under the learned model, enforcing force and compliance limits in hard real time. If the model gets it wrong, the low-level controller still catches it. Safety and reliability are the substrate.
Macro · custom end effectorPurpose-built hardware.
Sensors, grippers, and actuators designed around the model they serve. We build the physical stack so the data we collect and the forces we command are things our own electronics can measure and trust.
Cell cam · one runtime, many armsSoftware orchestration.
One runtime that sequences skills, coordinates across a fleet, and streams data back to the training loop. A single robot learning in the field becomes every robot's experience by the next release. 04 → 01, and the loop turns again.
