# General Robotics

> General Robotics is a Kirkland, Washington startup building general-purpose intelligence for robots. Its flagship GRID platform delivers modular, composable AI skills - perception, reasoning, and control - that deploy across humanoids, arms, quadrupeds, wheeled and aerial robots in minutes, without local GPUs. Founded in 2023 (originally Scaled Foundations) by a team of ex-Microsoft AI researchers, the company argues that robot intelligence emerges from composing many reusable skills rather than from one ever-larger model.

- **Founded:** 2023
- **Headquarters:** Kirkland, Washington, United States
- **Founders:** Ashish Kapoor (Co-Founder & CEO), Dinesh Narayanan (Co-Founder), Sai Vemprala (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~36 employees
- **Products:** GRID, DreamControl, Open GRID
- **Notable:** Emerged from stealth in September 2023 with seed backing from Khosla Ventures and E14 Fund., Rebranded from Scaled Foundations to General Robotics in 2025 around the GRID platform., Selected for the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program (November 2025).

## Products & services

- **GRID** — A cloud-native Intelligence Grid platform delivering 40+ modular, pre-trained AI skills for perception, planning and control. Deploys across humanoids, arms, quadrupeds, wheeled and aerial robots in under 15 minutes via simple APIs, with support for 25,000+ concurrent robot requests per instance and no local GPU required.
- **DreamControl** — A workflow for building whole-body AI skills for humanoid robots that combines diffusion models and reinforcement learning through a three-stage process, integrated with GRID's hosted vision models for perception.
- **Open GRID** — A web-based playground (now sunset) that gave hobbyists and researchers rapid prototyping access to the GRID platform.

## Achievements
