What Sensei does
Sensei helps robotics companies scale and outsource their training data collection. Our hardware platform enables the collection of human-demonstration data at a tenth of the cost and twice the speed of current teleop approaches. Our software platform acts like Scale AI for robotics data: a large network of paid human operators use our low-cost collection platform to fulfill data-generation requests.

Robotic Training Data at Scale
We built a hardware and software platform that lets robotics companies outsource collection of human demonstration data. Our hardware captures robot control inputs much faster and cheaper than existing teleoperation, while our software connects to a network of paid human operators who fulfill data collection requests on demand.
We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where the robotics and AI community is concentrated, and where most of our early users and engineers are located. It's essential to be near our customers and talent.
