About

Physical AI has never had more fake demos - or more misleading claims about what the models can actually do.

Many are made to the outside world. Too many even internally.

You know it. We know it.

Let’s stop this. Let’s build something that actually moves the field forward - and that we can all be proud of.

At Poke & Wiggle, we are obsessed with breaking and improving robot policies.

We operate the largest independent Franka FR3 Duo farm, helping teams building frontier world models and robot foundation models evaluate them in the real world, uncover the failure modes that matter, and close the loop with high-quality data.

It’s science. It’s engineering. It’s a fuck ton of operations. And sometimes, it’s art.

We also work with industrial companies to determine which models truly fit their applications - and turn co-created benchmarks into evidence-backed deployment decisions.

Why? Because Physical AI only matters when it gets deployed. Ultimately, physical reality is the only benchmark that counts.

Many companies in Physical AI want to be the main character - the one that owns everything, including the spotlight.

We don’t.

We want to be your first call when you start something truly ambitious.

We want to be the team you trust to help you find out what works, what breaks, and how to improve it - together.

Location
