BitRobot on solving physical AI's data problem: RoboCap cameras and RoboColiseum evals
DJiafei · x · 2026-11-12
An interview with BitRobot's Michael Cho explores physical AI's two biggest bottlenecks: collecting the data robots need, and verifying whether their AI actually works in the real world.
- RoboCap: a six-camera wrist-mounted rig combining egocentric human video, synchronized wrist cameras, stereo vision and hand-pose tracking to capture everyday activity and recover useful 3D information; Cho explains the design tradeoffs.
- RoboColiseum: an effort to test robot policies beyond controlled lab settings, with independent evaluation across embodiments, fine-tuned and open-world tracks, human judging and plans for open rollout data, with partners including Hugging Face.
