100%. Humanoids will need orders of magnitude more real-world behavioral data than people realize, especially outside tightly controlled environment.
Training humanoid robots on teleoperation alone won’t scale, says Rhoda AI CEO @startupjag. Unlike self-driving cars - which basically have four actuators (left, right, speed up, and slow down) and operate in a single environment (the road) - humanoid robots are completely

We also own a growing cleaning company, offering free and reduced-price cleanings — and of course, our cleaners are wearing our kits and making more money than they would at a normal cleaning job. Last weekend, we cleaned the apartments of over 100 founders, investors, and

We trained a humanoid with 22-DoF dexterous hands to assemble model cars, operate syringes, sort poker cards, fold/roll shirts, all learned primarily from 20,000+ hours of egocentric human video with no robot in the loop. Humans are the most scalable embodiment on the planet. We

YC funded us to start a cleaning service. The catch: our cleaners wear custom rigs that capture multimodal data to train robots. We’ve shipped tens of thousands of hours to frontier robotics teams. You get a spotless place, they get the missing dataset. Get a free clean:
