Real-world human movement data for humanoid robots

YC W26

About the Company

Asimov AI is building the data infrastructure to train humanoid robots. We collect egocentric video of real people performing real-world tasks (cooking, cleaning, working at a desk, running errands) to teach robots how humans move, interact, and manipulate objects. We're building a global crowdsourced data collection platform where anyone with a smartphone can contribute training data and get paid for it. Our mission is to make high-quality embodied AI training data abundant and accessible.

Tech Stack

Our stack spans mobile, backend, and computer vision. Privacy is core to our system, we strip audio and blur all faces and identifiable information in our processing pipeline.
