The problem

Embodied AI is being held back

01

Robotics needs bigger and better datasets

Teleoperation, simulation, and video all have their limitations. Without large-scale, high-quality real-world data, progress stalls.

AI must be tested in reality

Lab demos are not enough. Embodied AI models need shared benchmarks and evaluations in the unpredictable real world.

State of the art research is closing off

Well-funded labs race ahead while others are locked out. Without open access to testing and deployment, smaller teams can’t compete — and innovation slows for all.
