Education
From K-12 to university — hardware, data, and platforms for hands-on robotics learning.
Industry Context
Robotics education spans K-12 kits, university labs, and professional training. Students need access to real hardware, real data, and real tools — not just simulation. SVRC provides hardware, datasets, and platforms that bridge theory and practice.
What We Offer
- Hardware — Robotic arms, mobile bases, quadrupeds, humanoids. Same-day pickup in Palo Alto. From beginner kits to research-grade platforms.
- Data Collection — Students learn by doing: teleoperate, collect demos, train policies. We support curriculum with data services and workshops.
- Fearless Data Platform — Free tier for education. Upload failure logs, run benchmarks, compare policies. Teach the full loop: data → model → deploy → failure → improve.
- Resources — Datasets, Models, Glossary. Open-source materials for courses and projects.
Value We Deliver
- Hands-on experience — Real robots, real data. No simulation-only gap.
- Curriculum alignment — Hardware and data align with imitation learning, RL, and embodied AI courses.
- Research acceleration — University labs get data and platforms without building everything from scratch.
- Career readiness — Students learn industry-standard tools (OpenVLA, LeRobot, etc.) and workflows.
Example Use Cases
- K-12: introductory robotics, coding, STEM
- University: manipulation, learning, RL courses
- Graduate research: novel algorithms, new datasets
- Professional training: upskilling for robotics engineers
