The Safety Imperative: Unlocking Potential for Robotics

“Physical AI will change the way we work in every industry, and this will be a game changer for workers, organizations and governments worldwide,” said Samuel Reeves, Founder and CEO of FORT Robotics.“However, these new machines come with a completely new and different risk profile, and that must be addressed before autonomous systems can scale. FORT’s mission is to ‘ensure robots cause no harm’ and we are dedicated to pioneering and building a shared framework for trust that robot manufacturers, integrators, end users, regulators, insurers, governments and any other interested party can rely on. How we trust physical AI will be one of the defining questions of our time and answering it will be a key enabler that will move these next generation machines from isolated pilot programs to real, scalable adoption.”

Thomas Bushey, CEO of Newbury Street II, added:“Newbury Street II is proud to partner with FORT, a category-defining platform addressing one of the world’s most complex infrastructure challenges. The robotics revolution is at an inflection point, and we believe FORT’s universal layer of trust can accelerate widespread adoption. We look forward to supporting Samuel and the team as they advance FORT’s horizontal platform for physical AI — as a public company, we believe FORT is well positioned to extend its leadership and create long-term shareholder value.”

Commenting on the commercial momentum of physical AI, Griffin Schroeder, Partner at Tiger Global, said:“As physical AI moves into core industrial infrastructure, safety is paramount. FORT has built a critical, machine-agnostic trust layer that enables enterprise autonomy to scale safely. We are excited to support Samuel and the FORT team as they build on their momentum and enter this next chapter.”
