FieldAI x Disney Imagineering parking and character robotics

FieldAI develops Field Foundation Models (FFMs), a class of physics-first foundation models for embodied intelligence that enable robots to navigate unstructured, GPS-denied environments without maps or predefined trajectories. The company's hardware-agnostic autonomy software runs on third-party robots — including Boston Dynamics Spot quadrupeds — via a sensor-compute payload and EDGE on-device runtime. Founded by veterans of NASA JPL, Google DeepMind, and DARPA robotics challenges, FieldAI deploys across construction, energy, mining, and logistics with a federated learning flywheel that compounds model performance from real-world fleet data.

Walt Disney Imagineering is Disney's R&D division based in Glendale, California, developing animatronics, Audio-Animatronics robotics, AI, and immersive technologies for theme park attractions. The division employs robotic control systems engineers for advanced animatronic characters.
