what are other interesting robotics data companies? i'm putting a list together for the founder of a vertical specific robotics startup who is wondering what the data factories offer i know: microagi xdof build ai does pantograph sell data? @_kelsey_pool scale does robotics data (the OG) mecka seems interesting, i don't have much context sensei? cortex @lucasngoo ?

@zeroxjackson pay for the gym walking distance from your house and hit it either before work or immediately after coming home. also don’t get lazy and walk to get coffee and lunch during the day to get 10k steps in!

called an uber on saturday night after the texas football game in downtown austin, and had the option for a @Waymo to pick me up (how could i say no!) so cool seeing it adapt to driving in different cities and meet demand during peak hours!

in 2012 apcs teacher showed a video of the 2007 darpa grand challenge, thought self-driving cars were sick. stanford is good at it, but what’s this school called cmu that’s also good? applied on a whim and moved to pittsburgh. did robotics research under prof. drew bagnell during soph year, got ghosted when i asked if i could continue next semester. saw the news he got poached to lead uber atg and later founded aurora. interned at google a couple of times and found mobile and ads boring. joined full-time to work on exploratory projects with different sensors like lidar, cameras, bluetooth, etc. google team’s projects halted during covid, joined waymo in 2020 when cars started driving in arizona. our data infra is REALLY good and waymo makes great progress, start thinking about data problems in other ai spaces and working on a startup one day physical ai explodes in 2025 and i feel like im watching the early days of self-driving and fall in love all over again. raised funding in 2025 and started working on argus systems. couldn’t be happier to work on this every single day!

5 years ago i was already working on highway traffic breaks (do many people even know what that is?), so this is the result of a lotttt of engineering and evaluation for a confident rollout. so proud of the team!

Big day — we’re starting to rollout freeway driving for public riders in Phoenix, LA, and the Bay Area. We’re also connecting SF to San Jose, and adding curbside access to SJC Airport. A true testament to the generalizability of the @Waymo Driver. Excited to bring its proven safety record to freeways and unlock new opportunities for our riders! waymo.com/blog/2025/11/t…

solution: date a vc
Jeson Lee@thejesonlee

the hardest part about being a male founder.. in my experience is finding a girlfriend / partner that understands the short term gains that we are forgoing and the long-term optimization game that we are playing. most women expect to have most dates paid for, their vacations covered and their partner to have the time and emotional bandwidth to support them. somebody they see as a reliable provider. this is completely understandable. but as founders, every dollar saved is additional runway for the company. we budget down to the cent because our life’s work depends on it. every 100-hour work week slightly increases the odds of success. at this stage of life, we’re both cash-poor and time-poor — betting everything on the hope that one day, it all works out. that one day, we’ll be sitting on generational wealth — the kind most men only dream about. even for women who understand that they might be investing in their man long-term , it’s hard not to compare. their friends are dating guys with high-paying tech jobs, who work from 10 to 3 and can afford to give them a luxury experience now, not later. optimizing for the short term is human nature — it’s hard to fight against. to all the girlfriends out there dating early-stage founders — you’re the real ones. and to all my fellow founders: may you find your person while you still have nothing. Because that’s the only time you’ll know she’s with you for who you are, not what you have.

meet alfred — our @NVIDIARobotics x @huggingface hackathon robot that helps makes an old fashioned by dropping the orange garnish in the glass - fine-tuned gr00t n1.5 on 50 teleop demos - trained and run on lerobot so-101 arms - generalizes to new drinks in the glass - bonus: running remote inference on @SpaceX's starlink since wifi was so bad (thanks @elonmusk!) code here: github.com/LF-Luis/HomeLe… @SeeedStudio #EmbodiedAIHackathon @drewborinstein @luifern0

Tesla - collects 4.3M hours of driving data - every day - for free - to train a 2DoF system (steering + throttle). - yet full autonomy remains unsolved. Frontier robotics startups/labs - collect or purchase 0.01M–1M hours of data - every X month - for millions of dollars - to train at least 14+ DoF systems - trying to master general-purpose manipulation The scale, cost, and gap...
