Data foundations
for robot learning

Benchmarks go stale, demonstrations don't transfer, and every lab rebuilds the same pipeline. We work on the layer underneath: the datasets, evaluation, and tooling that make robot learning reproducible.

What we work on

Five problems, one layer

Robot learning keeps rediscovering that the bottleneck is data, not architecture. These are the pieces we think are worth building in the open.

Large-scale demonstration data

Collection protocols, teleoperation rigs, and quality metrics for demonstration datasets that stay useful past the paper deadline.

Sim-to-real transfer

Measuring what actually survives the reality gap, and building simulators whose failures predict real hardware failures.

Evaluation and benchmarks

Standing evaluation suites with real robots in the loop, so a number on a leaderboard means something on a table.

Manipulation policies

Policy architectures for contact-rich manipulation, studied through the lens of what data they need rather than what they score.

Open tooling

Dataset formats, loaders, and replay infrastructure. Boring software that everyone needs and nobody wants to maintain alone.

Everything we make
ships with the data

A result you cannot rerun is a press release. Every paper we publish comes with the dataset, the loader, and the evaluation script that produced the number.

  • Permissive licenses, no registration wall
  • Versioned releases with changelogs and checksums
  • Hardware-in-the-loop evaluation anyone can submit to

We collaborate with labs and teams collecting robot data in the wild. If you have a platform, a dataset, or a benchmark you want to open up, we would like to hear about it.
