About

Roboto AI

Our founding team has been at the forefront of robotics and artificial intelligence for the past decade. We have developed software across the entire robotics stack, from simulation to computer vision. However, much of our time was spent triaging and transforming data rather than solving core algorithmic problems.

At Amazon Robotics, we learned that having powerful tools to analyze and curate robotics data is essential for developing safe and reliable systems. This is even more critical today with the advent of data-hungry foundation models, which are rapidly transforming the field of robotics.

One of the biggest hurdles holding the industry back is the lack of infrastructure to process and search multimodal logs. Without a way to query this data, companies often discover system failures too late.

Robotics is hard, but it shouldn't be this hard. Our mission is to accelerate the deployment of robots by using AI to streamline data processing. We are fortunate to have an incredible group of industry leaders and investors supporting us in this mission.

Our story

Roboto AI

Our team has been at the forefront of robotics and artificial intelligence for the past decade. We've developed software across the entire robotics stack, from simulation to computer vision. However, too much of our time was spent reviewing and transforming data.

At Amazon Robotics, we discovered that having powerful tools to analyze and curate robotics data is essential for developing safe and reliable systems. This is even more critical today with the advent of data-hungry foundation models, which are rapidly transforming the field.

A key hurdle for robotics companies is the lack of readily available infrastructure to process and search the vast amounts of data their robots generate. Without scalable tools to analyze multimodal logs, system failures and edge cases are often found too late.

Robotics is hard, but we’re here to change that. Our mission is to accelerate robotics development and make operations safer by creating a modern data stack for embodied AI.
