Asimov Launches: On Demand Human Intelligence for Robots

Asimov recently launched!

‍

^{"Asimov collects diverse real-world human data at scale to power the next generation of robots."}

‍

^{TL;DR: Language models trained on trillions of words. Image models trained on billions of photos. Robots are starting from scratch. The bottleneck is diverse, real-world human movement data. They are building the infrastructure to collect and own it at scale.}

Founded by Lyem Ningthou & Anshul Verma

Anshul brings deep data infrastructure expertise from Scale AI and Lyem built data pipelines for the United States Air Force. They have been building together since they were roommates in college, and previously co-founded a startup they grew to six figures in revenue.

🚨 The Problem

Humanoid robots need to learn from human movement in diverse environments, but the data to teach them doesn't exist at scale. Existing datasets are narrow, captured largely in controlled factory settings, repeating the same tasks in the same environments. What's missing is diversity: thousands of different people, in thousands of different spaces, doing the full range of things humans actually do.

The market for robotics training data will dwarf what was spent on language model data, and right now nobody owns the supply chain.

‍

🚀 Their Solution

Asimov empowers individuals worldwide to earn a living by recording what they already do: cooking, cleaning, working, living. That means data from thousands of different people, homes, and workplaces: the task and environment diversity that factory-only datasets simply can't replicate.

They have built the full stack to make it happen: proprietary hardware, annotation tooling, and a vertically integrated pipeline that makes their data higher quality and cheaper to produce than anything on the market. The largest robotics labs in the world are already their customers.

🙏 Their Ask

1. If you're a robotics company looking for data, the team would love to talk. They are already supplying the largest players in the space and can deliver at scale starting today. Reach out here.

2. If you own a restaurant, warehouse, or any business, anywhere in the world, and are interested in partnering, let them know. Many of their partners are able to entirely cover their workers' salaries by having them wear their collection kits while they work. Reach out here.

3. No matter where you live, you can turn your daily routine into a living. Sign up at tryasimov.ai.
