Sensei Robotics
Sensei operates a robot training-data engine: a marketplace of paid human operators ('Senseis') who collect in-the-wild human-demonstration data used to train robot manipulation policies. Operators wear a low-cost (<$300) sensorized exoskeleton arm equipped with angle, vision and inertial sensors that captures visuo-spatial demonstration data for tasks like clothes-folding and bin-sorting. The company positions itself as 'Scale AI for robotics data', collecting demonstrations at roughly a tenth of the cost and twice the speed of conventional teleoperation. The product is robot-primary: its sole purpose is generating training data for other companies' robots.
