LLMs had the internet. Robotics doesn’t, which is why we’re bringing the Scale AI data engine into the physical world. Robotics won’t be solved by blindly collecting 100x more demos. Raw trajectories need structure (intent, subgoals, failures, recoveries, edge cases, quality signals) or you just average mistakes. At Scale... show more

Today we're launching Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) . We build APIs for evaluating data quality, without training a robotics model. Data vendors use our API to search and analyze Physical AI data at scale, getting on-demand quality signals and metrics without managing infrastructure. High-quality data is the bottleneck to the next frontier of intelligence in robotics. Buyers want data they can trust. Data providers are focused on operational excellence. They don't have the bandwidth to understand the quality of their data at scale. We're fixing this. Vendors use our APIs to understand the impact of their decisions on their data quality: - Buyers demanding per-collector hour limits? Prove compliance while we stay ahead of the workarounds. - Changed your collection SOPs? Monitor for quality drift and regression. - Suspect duplicate samples? Verify with a single API call. Before Hebbian, I trained AI models for industrial cleaning robots, and kingston kuan spent years building large-scale infrastructure at Jane Street.

It's easy for robots to nail a demo. It's much harder to get them to work reliably in the real world. The bottleneck is data. At Axis Robotics we're building a compounding data engine that combines simulation, ego-centric data and DAgger correction data at scale. Watch our CEO ChrisF(✱,✱) break down the data bottleneck, why messy data can still train good models, and what it takes to get robots out of the lab with blocmates. ⬇️

As robotics teams scale, collecting real-world data can quickly become slow and expensive. 📉 Lightwheel is changing that with a simulation-first platform built on our technology, helping customers generate a 100:1 simulated-to-real data ratio for training autonomous systems. Together, we’re turning synthetic and real data into more capable, more reliable robots. Read the full success story 🔗

Why data is a trillion-dollar market "The bigger models scale, the more data you need. Data is a very durable need. If you believe in the scaling of models, then absolutely you should believe in the data market. I believe it's going to be at least a $100BN by 2030, if not $1TRN." Anastasios Nikolas Angelopoulos Do you have to scale into enterprise and mid-market to get this revenue scale or could you do it on frontier lab spend alone?

What we’re seeing: frontier robotics teams are rebuilding data pipelines from scratch because generic licensed datasets aren’t moving their models forward. The next wave won’t be about more data. It’ll be about precise, domain-specific data that actually improves performance. The bottleneck isn’t compute. It’s the right data. 🎥 Our CCO Arthur at Wrapped’s Multichain Day (ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄)

Turning video into humanoid robot motion! 🤳🏼 Training humanoid robots needs huge amounts of motion data, but real-world capture doesn’t scale. Mocap is expensive, dangerous edge cases are rare, and you can’t ask humans to repeatedly fall or crash. Video2Robot tackles this by converting videos into physics-grounded humanoid simulations. Motion is generated to respect balance, inertia, ground contact, and joint limits, then directly retargeted to robot simulators. One prompt can generate a full humanoid motion sequence, including multi-agent interactions and failure cases like falls or collisions, scenarios that are hard or impossible to capture safely in the real world. The pipeline is model-agnostic and works with existing video generators, making it a practical way to scale data for robots. If robots are going to operate in the real world, they need to be trained on the failures too, not just the perfect demos. Here's the GitHub: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

🚀 We just raised $40 million to build infrastructure for Physical AI! 🦾 AI is rapidly transforming critical industries like manufacturing, logistics, transportation, agriculture, construction, aerospace, and defense. Teams that win in the physical world are those who can create a data flywheel, leveraging infrastructure to capture, ingest, analyze, and evaluate the vast quantities of data generated by real-world systems. Robotics data is multimodal, time-synchronized, and bandwidth‑constrained at the edge. Traditional data and observability platforms were only designed to store and query text and time-series data, not petabyte-scale 3D, video, audio, GNSS, and proprioceptive data. The ability to efficiently capture, ingest, search, visualize, and evaluate multimodal data is critical to Physical AI development. Foxglove is a modern data engine for Physical AI, enabling you to record logs or capture demonstrations at the edge, sync recordings to the cloud or on-premises storage, find critical events across petabytes of data, evaluate robot performance, and watch a 3D frame-by-frame replay using our advanced visualization tool. 👉 Today is still Day 1 for Physical AI, and we're hiring for dozens of roles to assemble the best team in the industry. If you've built ML platforms, data infrastructure, dataset curation, evaluation and validation, or visualization tools at a leading robotics or autonomous vehicle company, let's chat – drop me a note or tag a friend below and I'll follow up personally! Thank you to Alexandra Sukin and Jeremy Levine at Bessemer, Seth Winterroth 🤖 at Eclipse, David Beyer and Sunil Dhaliwal at Amplify Partners, and Icehouse Ventures for joining us on this mission. Also a special shoutout to our angels tobi lutke Alex Kendall Kyle Vogt Milan Kovac Hussein Mehanna Pieter Abbeel Brad Porter Boris Sofman Kevin Peterson Chris Walti Lindon Gao Daniel Kan Adam Draper ⏻ Fred Ehrsam and Karri Saarinen!

Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI, on why the most overlooked layer of AI became its biggest competitive advantage: Wang left MIT in 2016 to start Scale AI, becoming the world's youngest self-made billionaire by betting on AI's unglamorous infrastructure layer while others chased flashier opportunities. His framework for understanding AI is simple. There are three major components: "You have compute, which folks like Nvidia work on. You have algorithms which folks like OpenAI or Google or Anthropic build. And then you have data." Compute had Nvidia. Algorithms had the major labs. Data had no one. That's exactly where Wang and his team made their bet: "We recognized early on that data was going to be a limiter. And there was nobody really working on it." What looked like a gap in the market turned out to be the foundation of it. Years later, Wang says every serious player in AI has arrived at the same conclusion: "Fast forward today, everybody I talked to recognizes that data is gold. Whether it's our customers, the major labs like the OpenAIs or the Metas of the world, or large enterprises like Morgan Stanley or Mastercard, or our partnership between Cisco and Scale." Alexandr Wang continues: "Data is going to be what will differentiate and power the next generation of powerful AI capabilities."

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li & SceniX Co-Founder Yunzhu Li on the data bottleneck in robotics and how world models help: "The lack of data in training, the lack of data in evaluation, this is very, very different from language models, where data is abundant on the internet." "And we know that in order for robotics to work, we have to somehow unlock the power of scaling law. But where does that come from?" "It's a profound problem that everybody's battling with in robotics." "We see a lot of unlock in being able to do this whole process through the modeling of the environments." "Being able to create these digital worlds... that's just going to unlock so much more potential for being able to replace all the costly and the unsafe data in the real environments with the data generated from the worlds for robots to be able to do scalable learning and evaluations."
