Anyone in India who has got their house or office painted knows the drill. The painters usually come in late - the furniture sits under plastic for weeks - a job meant to take 4–5 days is still on after 15. Then the plumber and the electrician come in, and part of the wall has to be redone. Now imagine that across every floor of every building around the world… That is the problem Origin has chosen to take on. Origin is a Physical AI company, and it's already live on construction sites in New York. Their first robot, OG-1, finishes walls at 3× human speed. It’s quite compact - enough to fit through doorways & into narrow corners plus it works with regular power tools - so nobody has to change how the site runs. Wall finishing and painting are just the start. The same robot is being built to take on plumbing and electrical too, just by changing the tool. Most robotics today is built for a single task. Origin is building a platform that learns trade after trade. Deep-tech hardware - engineered in India - solving a problem for builders around the world 👍 Happy to be part of this journey via Unilazer Ventures - alongside Accel & Zacua - who co-led Origin’s $20M round.

A sneak peek. Because keeping this to ourselves was getting difficult. 🤐

The plot thickens tomorrow. Stay tuned. 👀 Tushar Makkar Ashish Daga

We’re hiring AI & Robotics Engineers at Origin !!! The image below is SIM vs REAL. Getting these two worlds to agree is one of the many problems our team works on every day. At Origin, we’re building autonomous robots that perform skilled physical work in real construction environments. That means solving problems across the entire robotics stack: Perception. Simulation. Robot learning. Motion planning. Controls. Localization. Sim2Real. Not as isolated research problems.. but as systems that have to work together, reliably, on a real job site. And that’s what makes this exciting. We’re fortunate to be building with an exceptional team of engineers and researchers from Stanford, UCLA, Georgia Tech, IISc, IITs, NITs and more.. people who love hard problems, move fast, and want to see their work leave the lab and operate in the physical world. We’re growing that team. If you’re an AI / Robotics Engineer excited about closing gaps like the one below and ultimately building robots that can understand, plan and work autonomously in messy real-world environments we’d love to have you here. Come build robots that actually work in the real world.

The world needs to build like never before. From low-cost housing for millions to the data centers powering the AI revolution. But the industry is hitting a wall. Construction today is expensive, unsafe, and critically labor-constrained. The bottleneck? 500,000 open construction jobs that simply can’t be filled fast enough. It’s time to catch up. Let’s build! #construction #robotics #physicalai #embodiedai #contech Yogesh Ghaturle Tushar Makkar Ashish Daga
