Where is Physical Intelligence headquartered?

Physical Intelligence is headquartered at 396 Treat Ave in San Francisco's Mission District (ZIP 94110), confirmed by California Annual Report filings with an effective date through March 2026. The space is described as a minimalist concrete loft — blonde-wood worktables that serve as both workspace and robotics test stations, with no formal reception desk or prominent corporate branding. The design reflects the company's research-first culture: hands-on robot experimentation over corporate presentation.

The Mission District location places Physical Intelligence within a cluster of AI, robotics, and technology startups and is accessible from the Peninsula via Caltrain (22nd Street station is roughly a 10-minute walk), which matters for recruiting from Stanford, and from the East Bay via BART (24th Street Mission station is nearby). The company holds in-person work as a core cultural value — consistent with the hands-on, physical nature of robotics research, where real-time hardware interaction cannot be replicated remotely. Lachy Groom, the COO, is listed as the registered agent at this address in state filings; Karol Hausman is listed as CEO, Secretary, and CFO.

As of June 2026, Physical Intelligence has no publicly disclosed offices outside its San Francisco headquarters. This is consistent with the company's emphasis on in-person collaboration for robot hardware testing, data collection, real-time manipulation experiments, and the hands-on debugging that constitutes a significant portion of physical AI research — tasks that cannot be done remotely.

Given the company's rapid headcount growth from ~80 to ~200 employees in roughly 12 months, expansion into additional San Francisco Bay Area lab or office space is plausible in 2026–2027. Some research collaborators at Stanford (Chelsea Finn) and UC Berkeley (Sergey Levine) maintain academic affiliations that give Physical Intelligence informal access to university facilities, but these are not Physical Intelligence office locations. Any future geographic expansion would most naturally follow commercial deployment density — accompanying partners like Weave Robotics (Bay Area focused) and Ultra (distributed US warehouse network).

Physical Intelligence's single San Francisco office makes territory planning straightforward: this is a West Coast, Bay Area deal for the foreseeable future. The full buying committee — CEO Hausman, COO Groom, VP Engineering Ichter, and the research leads — is located in San Francisco. Field events, executive briefings, and account-based marketing campaigns should be anchored to the Bay Area, with Mission District or SoMa venues being the highest-convenience options for the Physical Intelligence team.

For sellers, the highest-ROI face-time venues are Bay Area AI and robotics events: ROBOx, AI engineering meetups, the Berkeley robotics seminar series (which Levine and collaborators attend), and investor-curated roundtables hosted by Thrive, Sequoia, or CapitalG. The company's early commercial pilots are concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area (Weave Robotics laundry deployments in SF, Dandelion Chocolate in SF), so regional customer success resources in the Bay Area are sufficient for the near term.

As Physical Intelligence scales nationally with partners like Ultra's distributed warehouse network, field presence in major logistics markets (Chicago, Dallas, the Eastern Seaboard) will become relevant — but that is a 2027-plus consideration. For now, any vendor or partner seeking Physical Intelligence's business should treat this as a single-city engagement requiring Bay Area presence.
