Human Intelligence for Robots

Robotics is the new paradigm. With hardware converging, Intelligence is the biggest bottleneck. Our world was built for humans and we're giving robots the ability to reason and act like us. The way we learn any task - by seeing, doing, and feeling - is how we train robots. We're building general intelligence that works on any robot and fits seamlessly within our world.

Intelligence Factory is building human intelligence for robots.

Robotics hardware is converging, and intelligence is the biggest bottleneck.

We are building general-purpose manipulation intelligence that makes robots work in diverse and unconstrained environments. Our models are trained on human demonstration data captured in our data factories. In these facilities, humans perform a wide variety of tasks while wearing our custom-built gloves, which capture what they see, do, and feel.

We retarget human motion to robot motion to deploy our models on a variety of robot hardware, from 5-finger dexterous hands to grippers.

We are deploying in warehouses, grocery stores, and data centers. As our data scales in volume and diversity, we will build models that generalize to any task, object, and environment.

We're building embodied intelligence: robots that reason like humans and fit seamlessly within our world.

Yash and Jalaj have spent the last 5 years deploying robots in the real world, working across the robotics pipeline from data collection and model building to last-mile deployment.
