We believe robots are going to reshape the world, making work and businesses that were previously impossible a reality. Over the last three months, we’ve been working on a robot useful enough to do real work and affordable enough to deploy at scale.

robots are going to be part of everyday life we think they should have a friendly face!

Introducing Munari: data and operator quality scoring for robotics. Robotics teams need training data, but collection operations often lack a consistent measure of the quality of their demonstrations. Thousands of paid operator hours, with limited feedback on how to make the next hour better. We’re changing that with operator and episode quality scoring. Munari lets you: ➤ Evaluate every human demonstration against your definition of good ➤ Turn those scores into actionable feedback that improves how operators collect data ➤ Measure progress across sessions and track quality fluctuations over time This creates a feedback loop that compounds: collect, score, coach, and measure what improves. Operators learn from each session, teams refine their collection process, and the same human hours produce more usable training data. This measurement layer is the first step toward training models for reliable deployment. Making sure data teams understand what good looks like and how to consistently produce it. Our longer-term vision is to help teams benchmark and collect the right data for a specific job, environment, and robot. Knowing what you want to deploy can guide what you collect and how you evaluate it. Better data collection. Better robots. We’re already live with early partners and now opening a few more spots for pilot customers. If you’re collecting data or deploying robots, we’d love to chat!

Every robotics company says data quality matters, but very few objectively evaluate the human operators responsible for collecting that data. Behind every training set are a LOT of humans working to collect enough episodes. Each with different speed, smoothness, precision, hesitation, and recovery ability. All of it flows straight into the model through a single gate, pass or fail. But operator quality isn't binary, and someone had to put a score on it. So we did. Today we’re launching a demo of what we've been building at Munari. We score episodes on the kinematics that separate a “good” demonstration from a “bad” one, roll them up to a 0-10 score per episode and per operator, and put it in a easily queryable view to analyze findings. Our demo looks at ABC-130K, XDOF's open bimanual teleop dataset: roughly 130,000 episodes that ship with anonymized operator IDs nobody has published a look at. The paper reports scale, task diversity, and policy results. Nothing about the people who made it. What's interesting is how two episodes of the same task, in a clean dataset, can still sit far apart on the scale. At normal playback speed you often can't tell which is which. But when you drill in, you can uncover significant variance. And it’s clear that certain operators are better equipped at these tasks than others. For us, kinematic quality is a starting point, not the final rubric for what makes good training data. That answer is different for every company and every policy, which is why we built our scoring to be adapted, reweighted, and validated against what data actually improves your policy. And of course, please reach out if you want to connect or share feedback! Demo linked below.

Trove 004 is out! 🤖 Huge thanks to the @roborobots founders @KyleNoble and @gpudad for the conversation. We broke down: - The team's backstory - The data flywheel that will be the core of the business - The bottlenecks facing all robotics companies substack.com/@brianderario/n…

Today we're announcing Robo. We build affordable, useful robots that anyone can deploy (get yours below) Our first robot is a wheeled humanoid now deploying in logistics, manufacturing & healthcare. Robots will be everywhere. But first, they have to be affordable and useful.
