Maxinsights, which captures real work videos for robot training, announced a $30M seed round led by Peak XV Partners plus two products: MaxLoop (same-day quality scores on every clip) and MaxGlove, capturing grip force and slip moments cameras can't see. The company claims 2M+ hours of footage from real homes, restaurants and hotels. Commenters note the open question is how well this touch data transfers to robot hands that sense the world differently.
