A place to build
physical intelligence.

The armature is the core of every motor: the part that moves. Ours is a planned 3,500 sq ft lab across two floors, designed for the full path from idea to working machine: robotics, prototyping, ESD-safe benches, and GPU compute. Equipment and hourly access are planned, not yet available to book.

Free basic registration and the booking preview are open. Paid bookings remain closed.

A working floor, not a club lounge

The plan is for every room to hold a real project in progress.

→ 01

A workshop

Bench space, tools, and serious equipment to build on. Assemble, break, and iterate without doing it alone in a garage.

→ 02

A showroom

A place for resident teams to keep prototypes and demo material on the floor, so visitors can see working physical AI rather than a pitch deck.

→ 03

A room

A shared space for founders, engineers, researchers, and backers. Hard questions deserve people who have built the thing.

→ 04

A training ground

Hands-on workshops, student research with industry, and build days with the communities advancing Indian robotics.

Armature AI Labs is the first planned facility in a larger vision: the Institute for Physical AI.

Two floors at a glance

The proposed layout uses fifteen measured rooms across the ground and first floors: coworking commons, a presentation hall, seven cabins, a workshop terrace, and three balconies.

Blender design renders—not photographs of completed spaces. Layout and installation details remain subject to verification.

Monitored, end to end

The planned cameras and access trail are intended to keep a shared floor accountable, not unattended.

Whole-floor coverage

The plan connects the commons, presentation hall, cabins, workshop terrace, balconies, kitchen, and entrance to an on-site NVR.

Hazard-zone visibility

Guarded equipment will require induction, booking, interlocks, and staff operating rules before use.

Tied to attendance

The proposed workflow ties each booking to a responsible member and a check-in trail, with access-controlled recordings.

From idea to working machine

The intended workflow: work enters as a sketch and leaves as a machine someone has watched run.

01

Sketch

Define the job and the test.

02

Build

Use benches, printers, and tools.

03

Test

Move into the arm cell or flexible test bay.

04

Show

Run the prototype on the demo floor.

05

Ship

Document it and take it into the world.

05

The maker desk keeps small friction small

The planned maker desk brings secure storage, build-sized consumables, and complete portable toolkits alongside the equipment.

Lock the project here

Planned small, medium, and tall secure lockers, with weekly, monthly, or yearly options to be confirmed.

Locker options

Buy the handful

Planned bench stock includes screws, wire, headers, heat-shrink, solder, and other low-cost supplies in useful quantities.

Bench stock

Rent a complete toolbox

Planned tagged electronics, mechanical, soldering, precision, and diagnostics kits, with checked returns.

Book, build, and leave a clean trail

Free basic registration and identity review are open. Safety inductions, paid reservations and check-in will follow separately; paid bookings remain closed.

01

Apply

Tell us what you are building.

02

Induct

Complete the lab and equipment safety checks.

03

Reserve

Choose a resource and a live time slot.

04

Check in

Present a one-use QR to the on-site kiosk.

05

Build

Use the floor, log the work, and close the session.

Most builders will never own a robot arm and dedicated GPU compute. We are building a place to share access.
