R&D & Startups
Custom data, RL environments, platform — fast iteration without hardware overhead.
Industry Context
Robotics startups and R&D teams need to move fast. Building in-house data collection and RL infrastructure takes months and ties up capital. SVRC provides data, environments, and platform as services — so you can focus on algorithms, product, and deployment.
What We Offer
- Data Collection — Custom demonstrations for your exact task, robot, and environment. We operate teleop systems; you get learning-ready datasets. No hardware purchase required.
- RL Environment as a Service — Real-world RL environments for training and evaluation. Persistent, instrumented. No need to build and maintain your own.
- Fearless Data Platform — Upload failure logs, run benchmarks, A/B test policies. Free tier for early-stage. Close the loop: deploy → fail → improve.
- Hardware — When you're ready, same-day pickup in Palo Alto. OpenArm, W1, ALOHA-style. Modular, data-first.
Value We Deliver
- Speed — Get data in weeks, not months. Validate ideas before investing in hardware.
- Capital efficiency — Pay for data and environments; avoid upfront robot and lab costs.
- Expertise — We know what makes data learning-ready. Episode structure, timing, calibration.
- Scalability — Scale data collection when you need it; ramp down when you don't.
Example Use Cases
- MVP validation: prove your algorithm works with real data
- Pilot deployment: collect data from early customers
- Benchmarking: compare against baselines on our platform
- Research: novel tasks, new datasets, new models
