Two lengths.
Use either as written or edit freely. The facts in them are current for September 2026.
Moving Atoms builds RobotGym, simulation infrastructure for physical AI. Teams rebuild a workspace as a digital twin from photographs, run their robot in it with real physics and keep the evidence of every trial.
Moving Atoms builds RobotGym, simulation infrastructure for physical AI. Atom, its simulation agent, turns photographs, video, documents and CAD into digital twins with MuJoCo physics and designs tasks in conversation. Teams run their robot against the twin with budgets declared before each run and success decided by the simulator. Every run produces a downloadable archive of exact policy inputs, commands, trajectory and grade. The current harness supports frontier language models including GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable as policies. The company was founded by brothers Shehryar and Ahmad Saroya, both Oxford mathematicians, and is registered in San Francisco with engineering in the United Kingdom.
Numbers you may quote.
Each figure is a single recorded trial or a measured property of the platform. None is a success rate, and we would ask that none be reported as one.
Bios and photographs.
Photographs may be cropped. Please credit Moving Atoms.
Shehryar read Mathematics and Computer Science at Oxford and went on to train recommendation models at TikTok that served billions of people. He co-founded Moving Atoms with his brother to move robot development out of the lab and into software.
Ahmad read Mathematics at Oxford, finishing first in his college, and holds a British Mathematical Olympiad gold medal. He built neural networks for the UK Government before co-founding Moving Atoms, where he owns the simulator, the harness and the evidence format.
Mark and wordmark.
The wordmark is “moving atoms”, lowercase, in Aeonik, with the mark to its left. The product is RobotGym, capital R and capital G, one word. Please do not recolour the mark or place it on a busy photograph.
Colours: canvas #f0f1fa, ink #0b0b10, blue #1a2ffb, lime #c1ff00. The SVG wordmark uses a system font fallback where Aeonik is unavailable.
