Cosa fa Robocurve

Robocurve builds open-source tools and independent benchmarks to measure how well robots can do real-world jobs. Instead of relying on unverified demo videos from frontier labs, we score their models on reproducible benchmarks that anyone can trust. Today there are no well-run, standardized robotics benchmarks. Labs evaluate in-house, and no independent group has stepped in to run continuous benchmarking as a service. The result is that no one actually knows how good anyone else is, or where the real frontier sits. Good benchmarks require operating and maintaining physical hardware and real-world setups. Simulation only goes so far, since models that look strong in sim can show large performance gaps once deployed in the real world. Building real-world benchmarks means coordinating job-domain experts, evals engineering, and hands-on robotics all at once. Frontier labs are targeting general-purpose robotics by 2028, yet the field of robotics evals barely exists. Whoever builds the trusted measure of robot capability becomes the reference everyone relies on. We combine backgrounds in AI evals and robotics to build and grow this field as fast as possible. We already shipped v1 of our open-source framework, Inspect Robots, and ran our first pilot scoring a frontier model on a real robot.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Open-source evals and benchmarks for robots

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build open-source tools and independent, reproducible robot benchmarks. Our main product is Inspect Robots, an open-source framework for benchmarking real-world robot performance. We run physical setups to benchmark frontier robotic models on actual hardware, not just simulation. Our goal is to provide trusted, standardized scores that labs, companies, and the robotics community can rely on.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are in San Francisco because it is the center of robotics and AI activity. It gives us access to hardware, labs, and early customers.
