FieldAI

Ali Agha founded FieldAI in 2023, and the company is based in Irvine, California. Its leadership has roots in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Google DeepMind and DARPA's Subterranean Challenge and RACER programs. FieldAI builds a layered robot brain: dynamics models tuned to each robot body, Field Foundation Models that add risk awareness, memory and reasoning, and multiagent models that coordinate mixed fleets. The full stack runs on the robot without prior maps or cloud connectivity. It sells this autonomy to construction firms, data center operators, industrial companies and defense customers, and has a FieldAI Federal arm for government work. FieldAI disclosed $405 million in funding in August 2025, including a $314 million round co-led by Bezos Expeditions, Prysm Capital and Temasek, with Khosla Ventures, Intel Capital and Canaan Partners also investing. In October 2026 Business Insider reported that FieldAI had signed a term sheet to raise about $700 million at a $10 billion valuation, a deal not yet announced as closed.
