VR, exo, and bilateral leader-follower rigs. The shortest path from human intent to robot training data.
Teleoperation is the process of a human operator controlling a robot in real time — through VR headsets, exoskeletons, or leader-follower rigs — while every joint position, force reading, and camera frame is logged at high frequency. The result is egocentric demonstration data: the exact trajectories a policy needs to learn the task.
Building a teleop program in-house means sourcing rigs, hiring operators, and standing up QA — months before a single trajectory ships. We eliminate that ramp.
Why outsource teleop?
Your ML team should be training policies, not debugging rigs. We handle collection so you ship models faster.
4 weeks from scoping call to production data.
12 active pods across three continents.
99.4% SLA on delivery timelines.
Where we collect
41+ delivery centers across 12 countries. Every program runs from a Roborax hub near your target time zone.

Every teleoperation session produces the four primitives a VLA or manipulation policy actually trains on.
Full kinematic logs at 30Hz, per-joint position, velocity, and torque.
Tool-center-point pose in your robot frame, calibrated per-rig.
Wrench data from force-torque sensors, time-aligned to joints.
Wrist + scene cameras, frame-perfect with joint timestamps.
Four weeks. Same process whether you bring your rig or use ours.
Recreate your rig in our pod, or set up the program on yours. Calibration captured.
Two-week training on your tasks and your acceptance criteria. Gold-set bar locked.
Small-batch collection with daily QA review. Criteria adjusted before scale.
Full pod producing trajectories against SLA. Daily throughput dashboard.
Bring your stack or use ours. Either way the output is the same format.

FAQ
We have active programs on humanoid platforms, bimanual arms, mobile manipulators, and industrial arms. If your platform is not on that list, bring it to us — we have onboarded novel hardware in under a month.
We draw from our global operator network across 41 delivery centers. Operators go through platform-specific training, a calibration phase, and a quality gate before contributing to your program. We do not use untrained crowd workers for teleoperation.
Each session produces synchronized video streams, joint state data, end-effector trajectories, and any additional sensor modalities you specify — all timestamped and packaged in your preferred format.
Yes. We provide a live observation portal for all dedicated programs. You can watch sessions in real time, flag demonstrations for review, and send feedback directly to the program manager.
Failed demonstrations are flagged, classified by failure mode, and either discarded or retained as negative examples depending on your specification. Failure-recovery sequences can also be captured on request.
There is no hard minimum, but programs under 500 trajectories are typically not cost-effective with a dedicated team. For smaller initial batches we recommend a hybrid model to validate task design before scaling.

FROM THE FIELD
Warehouse robots underperform in production not because of the model, but because training data missed the edge cases that matter.
Sub-millimeter precision, HIPAA compliance, and credentialed operators — surgical robot data has requirements general robotics programs cannot meet.
Robotics data quality is not a review meeting. At production scale it is automated validation, per-operator metrics, and same-day feedback loops.
Robot annotation is not image labeling with a new name. Temporal structure and task semantics demand distinct tooling and annotator qualification.
Simulation offers unlimited training data at zero cost. The sim-to-real gap is a structural problem, not a rendering one.
Language models scaled on internet data. Embodied AI must build its data from the physical world — and that changes everything.
Seven services. One synchronized pipeline.
In-person task demos for imitation learning.
RGB-D, LiDAR, force, and tactile streams.
Bounding boxes, segmentation, action labels.
Domain-randomized scenes and sim transfers.
Held-out test sets and success-rate scoring.
Rare scenarios your policy will face in production.
