Building physical intelligence by building the real world
Robots that build — and learn what work actually is.
Tyler is on commercial jobsites today: eight times a tile setter's ceramic output, with one operator.
The proof
It's alreadyon the floor.
Tens of thousands of square feet laid on live commercial jobsites — real floors, real schedules, real crews working alongside it. And the jobs keep getting bigger.

Why now
More work than hands.
Physical output is still tightly coupled to human headcount. Contractors have work they cannot staff. We start with specific tasks where a machine can give an existing crew more capacity.
What we're building toward
Toward physical compute.
Cloud computing made compute reliable, provisionable infrastructure. We believe physical labor is next. Construction is our proving ground; Tyler is the first worker. Over time, this becomes the Autonomous GC: provision machine labor, coordinate execution, verify the outcome, and deliver the project.

Common questions
How Tyler fitsyour project.
Materials, crew, pricing, and getting started.
What flooring does Tyler install?
Tyler places ceramic tile, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), vinyl composition tile (VCT), and carpet tile. We review the material, format, layout, and site conditions before confirming a project.
What does the crew still handle?
Tyler handles repetitive placement with one operator alongside it. Your crew handles floor preparation, materials, layout decisions, cuts, edges, finishing, and quality control. Tyler adds capacity to the installation crew.
How much flooring can Tyler install?
Tyler's ceramic placement rate is about 100 sq ft an hour for ceramic placement with one operator. Ceramic: 800 sq ft/day with Tyler compared with 100 by hand. Glue-down LVT: 1,500 sq ft/day with Tyler compared with 750 by hand. Each comparison is one operator running Tyler against one installer by hand.
How is Tyler priced?
We price Tyler's work per installed square foot. Share your flooring scope and timeline for project pricing. Your crew handles preparation, materials, cuts, and finishing.
Where can Human Friendly Robotics work?
We are based in New Jersey, United States, with Tyler deployment experience in the New York City metropolitan area and Puerto Rico. Share your project location and timing so we can confirm availability and logistics.
How do I bring Tyler to a project?
Use the project request form to share your location, square footage, flooring material, and requested dates. We review the fit and follow up about scope and availability. Sending a request does not book a robot or confirm dates.
