About

About Robotics Center

Robotics Center is a San Francisco robotics infrastructure hub serving hardware, data collection, fleet teleoperation, and education to research and industry teams.

Robotics Center exists to make physical AI development practical. Research teams can assemble world-class robot-learning stacks, but integrating hardware, collecting high-quality demonstration data, running fleet teleoperation, and keeping robots operational is still the bottleneck that separates demos from deployments. Founded by Jerry Huang, we run one stack — hardware, data, and evaluation — end to end, so that complexity is ours to carry, not yours.

What we do

One stack: hardware → data → evaluation

We absorb the complexity between research demos and real-world deployments — supplying the hardware, capturing the data that trains it, and proving what actually works before you scale.

Hardware

Dexterous hands, robotic arms, humanoids, quadrupeds, mobile manipulators, and sensors — inventory we own and operate in-house.

Data collection

Teleoperation and fleet data collection that produce hardware-synced demonstrations for imitation and VLA learning.

Evaluation

The eval loop — running policies on real robots. We treat deployment-readiness as the hard part, and the moat.

Deployment

In-house engineering support from order to setup, so hardware reaches you configured and supported.

How we work

Infrastructure, not a storefront

As an authorized distributor for Wuji that also supplies Unitree, AgileX, UFACTORY and other leading brands, we stand behind every order and keep engineers in the loop from procurement to first successful run.

Direct fulfillment

Authorized distribution for brands like Unitree, Wuji and AgileX, with direct fulfillment and accountability on every order.

In-house engineering

The people who operate this hardware every day help you scope, integrate, and keep it running.

The San Francisco showroom

Power up, teleoperate, and in many cases drive a robot yourself — and ask direct questions about real-world failure modes.

Who we serve

Teams building physical AI

From first prototype to fielded fleet, we work with the people pushing robot learning into the real world.

Research labs & universities

World-class robot-learning research that needs hardware, data, and evaluation to move from paper to platform.

Robotics startups

Teams that need to move fast without standing up their own hardware and data operation from scratch.

Industry & enterprise

Groups piloting and deploying robots who need dependable supply, support, and proof it works.

Inside the lab

What 90 Welsh St actually looks like

Our San Francisco lab is a working space: robots on the floor, demo stations, and the team that runs them. These are our own photos, taken at the lab's June 2026 grand opening.
