Virtuals: Robotics data can't be scraped like the web
ai · x · 2026-08-20
Virtuals explained their robotics strategy: intelligence gains value when you own the data and coordination rails. Unlike software AI which had the internet ready for training, robotics lacks an equivalent. You cannot scrape the internet for specific joint movements, force, camera feeds, and mistakes needed for robot learning, meaning useful robotics data must be built from scratch.
