MassRobotics Taps 9 Startups for Physical AI Fellowship

MassRobotics just dropped the roster for its second Physical AI Fellowship — and it's got some heavy hitters backing it up. NVIDIA and AWS are once again co-sponsoring the program, which selects promising robotics startups and showers them with mentorship and resources.

Nine companies made the cut this round. The fellowship focuses on "Physical AI" — the intersection of artificial intelligence and real-world robotic systems that can perceive, reason, and act in physical environments.

Having NVIDIA's GPU muscle and AWS's cloud infrastructure in the mix isn't just branding. These partnerships give early-stage robotics companies access to compute power and development tools that would otherwise burn through their runway fast.

The program builds on MassRobotics' growing role as a launchpad for robotics startups, connecting scrappy founders with enterprise-scale resources.
