The layer between robots and the work.
Atomgigs puts physical AI to work: the right robots and the right people, run as one crew. We match the robots that are ready to the work that needs doing, and run humans and robots as one crew, with robots taking more of the load as they prove themselves.
Finished work now, with more robots over time.
A route from the factory to a paying customer.
Eyes and expertise on your physical AI bets.
Robot makers build the machines. Project owners need finished work. Atomgigs connects the two, and everyone with capital at stake.
Four forces make this the moment.
Physical projects are growing faster than the teams that deliver them, and robots are arriving.
Demand is rising
- AI campuses, transit and energy programs are scaling up
- Agility reports $300M+ in booked multi-year orders
- SoftBank launches Roze AI to build data centers with autonomous robots
Labor is short
- About one in five electricians is over 55
- Most 2026 demand comes from retirements, not new activity
- An apprentice who starts in 2026 is licensed around 2031
- Hardest roles to fill: electrician, mechanic, HVAC
Capital is flowing
- Over $8.7B of humanoid venture funding in 2026, about two-thirds to Chinese firms
- Record $15B robotics startup funding in 2025, above the 2021 peak
- Agility goes public by SPAC at about $2.5B
- Humanoid market forecast at $38B by 2035
Robots are ready
- Toyota Canada: seven Agility humanoids on a production line
- Tilbury Douglas (UK): a humanoid on a construction site
- BMW: Figure humanoids at Spartanburg
- Dusty and Spot: layout and inspection on sites
- 542,000 industrial arms installed in 2024
Machines are arriving. The people and process to deploy them are the scarce part.
Robot makers sell machines. Owners need finished work.
A robot on a pallet is not a productive crew. Between the factory and the finished site sits a layer nobody owns.
Machines
- Robots, as units or per-hour service
- Focused on product, funding and scale
- Limited field and site-integration teams
- Support for the machine, not the project
- Deployment left to the buyer
Who does all of this?
- Selects and sources the right robot
- Integrates it into the site workflow
- Trains, supervises and keeps it running
- Staffs the people working beside it
- Answers when the schedule slips
Outcomes
- Work finished on schedule and to spec
- Skilled people they cannot find
- Safety and compliance on live sites
- One responsible party, not five vendors
- A way to start small and scale
Atomgigs fills the gap: the integrator that turns robots and labor into a delivered outcome.
One hybrid workforce, delivered as a service.
We combine robots, specialized labor and site leadership into a single package for physical projects.
- An integrator of robots and people.
- A direct sourcer of robots from their manufacturers, helping deploy them on your project.
- A source of vetted specialized labor.
- The lead on site, with a designated human manager for each robot.
- An advisor to robot makers and investors.
- A robot manufacturer.
- A staffing agency alone.
- A general contractor of record.
- Tied to any one robot brand: we match the robot to the task.
- One team and one contract.
- Robots where they work, people where they must be.
- A start with people that shifts as robots mature.
- Pay for capacity and outcomes, not hardware.
Robots from their makers. People from our network. One team on site.
Source, staff, integrate, deliver.
We assemble everything a project needs to run people and robots together, and own the result.
Source the robots
We contract robots directly with their makers, across many makers and models, light to heavy. We match the robot to the task, not the brand.
Bring the people
Vetted skilled labor and supervisors from our partners, trained to work beside robots and ready to start fast.
Put them to work together
Site mapping, task design, tooling, safety and fleet operations, run by one small pod, with a designated human manager assigned to each robot.
Deliver the outcome
One team, one contract, weekly reporting. The mix shifts toward robots as they prove safe, reliable and cheaper.
Humans in the lead, physical AI in the loop. A small senior pod runs every site, with robots and crews behind it.
People lead the work; robots handle defined tasks.
"Humans in the lead, physical AI in the loop" is the operating model: people set scope, sequence and quality.
| Mode | Human role | Robot role | Typical work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooperation | Same area, sequential tasks | Does the step before or after the person | Robot moves materials to a human-run station |
| Shared task | Hands-on with the robot | Responds to human motion and force | People pick or fit; robots carry |
| Operator-directed | Directs from a tablet or remote; does touch-up | Does the bulk repetitive work | Finishing and drilling |
| Supervised autonomy | Sets the job, monitors, resolves exceptions | Runs the mission on its own | Layout from a design model; site rounds |
| Teleoperation | Takes control for exceptions or whole tasks | Executes motion; may be partly human-driven | Delivery and general-purpose robots |
| Fleet supervision | One person oversees many robots | Fleets coordinate themselves | Many robots under one supervisor |
Rising maturity In construction, most deployed systems today are operator-directed or supervised autonomy.
Ten jobs cover what robots do on site today.
Atomgigs knows the commercially viable robots and matches each to the task.
| Function | Typical robots | Typical sites | Status today |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material handling | AMRs (Locus), forklift AGVs (Seegrid), tuggers, truck unloaders (Stretch) | Warehouses, factories, laydown yards | Scaled |
| Welding and assembly | Industrial arms and cobots (FANUC, Universal Robots) | Factories, prefab shops | Scaled |
| Picking and sortation | Arm plus vision systems (Dexterity) | Fulfillment centers | Commercial |
| Cleaning and security | Floor scrubbers (Avidbots, Brain Corp); patrol robots (Knightscope, Spot) | Warehouses, campuses, data centers | Commercial |
| Inspection and monitoring | Quadrupeds (Spot, ANYmal), drones (Skydio), wall crawlers | Plants, vessels, data center halls | Commercial |
| Layout and marking | Layout-printing robots (Dusty, Rugged, HP SitePrint) | Construction floors | Commercial and early |
| Drilling and anchoring | Ceiling-drilling robots (Hilti Jaibot) | Construction MEP work | Commercial |
| Earthmoving and piling | Autonomous excavators, haulers, pile drivers (Built RPD 35, Bedrock) | Civil, solar and large sites | Early commercial |
| Finishing and rebar | Drywall and wall robots (Canvas, Okibo); rebar tyers (TyBOT) | Interiors, bridge decks | Early and commercial |
| General manipulation | Humanoids (Digit, Figure, Apollo, Atlas) and mobile manipulators | Pilots across many sites | Pilot |

Build
Update the model with as-built data and equipment submittals, then hand it to the owner.
Operate
- Map the site and track each installed product
- Support operations and maintenance
- Keep service history, warranties and work orders
- Plan servicing and spares; add live sensor data
