Build Your Physical AI Product Faster
Build your physical AI product faster. RCSV gives AI startups fast hardware access, proprietary data collection, and the platform infrastructure to go from demo to deployed product.
Hardware is hard, data is harder. RCSV gives AI startups everything they need to skip the setup overhead and start training — hardware on lease, data collection as a service, and platform infrastructure included.

The Problem
Most Robotics AI Startups Waste 6 Months on Setup
The founders who build fast physical AI products are not smarter — they just do not waste time on commodity infrastructure. Here is the trap most teams fall into.
M1
Hardware procurement and delivery delays
Industrial robots have 8–20 week lead times. Importing hardware for international teams adds customs delays, duties, and integration surprises. You have a product to build and you are waiting on a FedEx shipment.
M2
Setting up a teleoperation and data collection pipeline
Before you can collect a single training episode, you need to build the ROS stack, calibrate cameras, configure a data recording format, and train operators. This is weeks of engineering for problems that have already been solved.
M3–4
Collecting enough demonstrations to actually train on
Imitation learning requires hundreds to thousands of clean episodes. Without trained operators and systematic collection protocols, data quality is inconsistent and training runs fail for reasons that are hard to debug.
M5–6
Iteration is slow because infrastructure is still breaking
By now you are finally training policies — but your data pipeline is fragile, annotation is manual, and every hardware change requires recalibration. Competitors who solved this problem earlier are already shipping demos.
How RCSV Helps
Three Things We Do That You Should Not Build
01
Fast Hardware Access
Lease today, deploy tomorrow. RCSV ships from San Francisco stock with no lead times. OpenArm, W1 mobile manipulator, Go2 quadruped, and humanoid platforms are available on monthly lease terms starting at $450/mo.
Hardware arrives configured and tested. Most teams are collecting data within 24 hours of delivery. Swap platforms as your requirements evolve — no capital commitment, no sunk cost.
02
Proprietary Data Collection
Your task, your data, your model. RCSV's trained teleoperation operators collect demonstration data on your specific manipulation tasks in your actual environment — or remotely via depth camera streams.
Episodes are recorded in LeRobot-compatible format and immediately available for training. You own the data. RCSV provides the infrastructure, operators, and quality annotation pipeline.
03
Platform Infrastructure
Stop maintaining data pipelines and start training policies. RCSV's platform handles episode logging, multi-camera sync, annotation tooling, and dataset export — in a browser, not a bash script.
Push directly to HuggingFace. Export to LeRobot, RLDS, or raw HDF5. Monitor policy performance in production. The infrastructure scales with your team so you do not need to rebuild it at each stage.
Pricing
Transparent, Modular Pricing
Pay only for what you need. Start with hardware, add data collection when you are ready to scale episodes, and use the platform throughout. No hidden implementation fees.
| Component | Starting Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OpenArm hardware lease | $450/mo | 1-month minimum, includes basic setup docs. Ships from San Francisco stock. |
| W1 Mobile Manipulator lease | $1,200/mo | Includes teleoperation interface and RCSV platform access. |
| Go2 Quadruped lease | $800/mo | Includes depth camera payload and autonomous navigation stack. |
| Data collection — operator time | Custom | RCSV teleop operators bill per session or per episode volume. Contact for rates. |
| RCSV Data Platform access | Included | Included with any active hardware lease. Episode logging, annotation, export. |
| Custom policy training support | Custom | RCSV ML engineers available for policy training, debugging, and deployment. |
Lease-to-own available on all hardware after 3 months of lease payments. Multi-platform discounts available for teams leasing 3 or more units. Pre-seed and seed-stage startups: ask about our founder pricing program.
What You Can Build
From First Demo to Deployed Product
RCSV has worked with physical AI teams at every stage — from pre-seed founders building their first imitation learning demo to Series A companies shipping manipulation products to enterprise customers.
🎬
Imitation Learning Demo
Collect 50–200 teleoperation episodes on a manipulation task, train an ACT or Diffusion Policy baseline, and have a working demo ready for investors or pilot customers.
4–8 weeks
🧠
Custom VLA Fine-Tune
Collect task-specific data in your target environment and fine-tune a vision-language-action model (OpenVLA, pi0, or your own) on proprietary episodes. RCSV exports in the right format for every major training framework.
6–12 weeks
🚀
Robotics Product MVP
Deploy a robot with a trained manipulation policy to a pilot customer's site. RCSV provides the hardware, policy monitoring via the data platform, and on-call operator support during the initial rollout.
3–6 months
📊
Proprietary Dataset
Build a defensible data asset for your specific manipulation domain — dexterous grasping, household tasks, industrial assembly. RCSV operators scale your data collection while you focus on model architecture.
