Neil S Gawande

Building physical AI systems that bring intelligence into the real world. Currently focused on robot foundation models to accelerate the return of manufacturing to the United States. Long term, working toward autonomous infrastructure—systems that can run production, logistics, and services with minimal human intervention. My core focus is what comes next: designing systems and environments where people can thrive in a post-AGI world. That means enabling communities with the capability to produce what they need locally—supported by automation, resilient infrastructure, and strong social foundations. Interested in the intersection of robotics, agents, and decentralized systems, with the goal of building scalable, self-sustaining communities—and, over time, connecting them into a broader network.
