Our Mission

Robotics is the biggest step change in human history.

For many years, human lives were similar. The last 100 years have been the steepest change in human history: cars, planes, the internet, and now AI. We believe robotics will be the peak of this step change. A transformational technology that will shape lives for centuries.

Today, robotics has a 40-99 problem. Robotics companies are building bigger and more generalizable models. But ultimately, even the best models have a success rate of 40%. We are bridging the gap from 40 to 99. Only then will robotics reach widespread adoption.

There is no better way to train robots than through humans. Our team has spent the majority of our lives building robots, and it formed this core belief. We have evolutionary knowledge of the physical world, and are a far better resource for teaching robots than any tool imaginable.

Robotics has long been a promise. We are making it a reality.

our workflow

Our Workflow

Step 1

Data collection

Vision, action and touch from human hands.

Glove dataVideo 01

Step 2

Model training

Train hardware-agnostic and force-aware models.

Retargeting maps human demonstrations onto each robot’s body, so learned skills transfer across different hardware.

Hand-drawn model-training illustration: human hand demonstrations pass through a neural network and are retargeted to a robotic hand and arm.
