Robot data startup Maxinsights uses custom capture hardware to feed manipulation training for 50+ teams
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-11-07
Human hands are becoming one of the most useful training signals in robot manipulation. Maxinsights records people doing real tasks (like kitchen work), labeling every clip with hand pose and language annotations.
- Captures data across 8 countries using recording hardware it builds itself, with one pipeline from task design to delivered clips
- Owning the hardware matters: identical setups everywhere keep recording conditions fixed, so environment becomes the variation models need to see
- Serving 50+ teams; the team will answer questions at CoRL on Nov 9
