Cobot

Collaborative robots for real environments

Cobot builds collaborative robots intended to work as a trusted extension of the space around them rather than as caged industrial equipment. Making that work depends on manipulation data produced at both volume and quality, so the company runs its own in-house collection operation: teams of data collectors working across two daily shifts, with throughput and quality targets set jointly with the AI research group. Research requirements are translated into collection protocols the floor can actually run, and findings from the floor feed back into what research asks for next. The operation is based onsite in Seattle.
