The building site,run by physical AI.
Tonian joins the real site and its digital model, so a network of robots can see the work, share it and build it.
Robots that know
where they are.
No markers stuck to the walls, no fenced-off cells. We are building toward robots that find themselves in a live model of the site, tell each other what they are doing and take the next task that fits.
The plan says what.
The robots work out how.
The planner joins a scan of the real site with what is to be built and hands the robots the goal. How they get there is up to them.
One plan,
many robots.
Humanoids, scaffolding robots, drones and machines, each taking the work it does best from the same model of the site.
From the real site to the robots, and back.
- 01 · Scan
The site as it is
A drone measures the plot, and its photos become a 3D model of it. The film below shows how.

The plan on the scan
In the dashboard the building goes onto the measured site, is checked against it and turned into tasks.

Robots carry it out
Humanoids and other robots take the tasks that fit them, then the site is scanned again. Today they work in simulation.

Timber framing first
The first trade we take to a pilot: few, standard parts, and steps a robot can take.
Our plan →
First, the site
as it is.
A drone stands over the plot and measures it: the ground, the old tree, the spoil heap, the walls next door.
A model of the site,
measured, not drawn.
Its photos become a 3D model of the plot. That model is what the planner works on.
The scan goes into
the dashboard.
There the house goes onto the plot and a scaffold run is drawn round it. The dashboard works out every part of the scaffold and checks it against the scan.
Then the plan goes
to the robots.
Dispatch turns it into tasks for the fleet, in an order they can be built in, and simulates the build before anything is set up on site.
Not primarily a robot company. An integrator.
A building site needs many kinds of robot: machines that move earth, humanoids that work the site as it is, and robots made for one job. Tonian joins them in one piece of software, around a shared model of the site, so each one sees what the others are doing and works out its own part.
