Physical Intelligence is an American startup specialising in the development of intelligent domestic robots. Its aim is to develop robots capable of performing complex household tasks by imitating human actions.

The firm's latest creation is a robot capable of recognising and handling a wide range of objects. Its code name is pi-zero. It can now take clothes out of the dryer and fold them correctly, for example, or clear a table by sorting dishes and throwing away trash. In addition, it can fold cardboard packaging or put eggs into a box. In all cases, the actions are mastered and the results are impressive. Now, all that's left for this robot to do is iron the laundry and wash the dishes, and it could become the perfect household helper.
