About Intelligence Factory
Summary
Intelligence Factory builds foundation models for robotic manipulation, giving robots human-level dexterity and reasoning so they can operate reliably in real-world environments like warehouses and data centers. The team collects vision, action, and touch data from human hands, trains hardware-agnostic, force-aware models, and deploys them across different robot bodies through a retargeting process. The work replaces the brittle, task-specific programming that keeps industrial robots below practical success thresholds.
Go-to-market
Customers in industrial settings such as warehouses and data centers deploy manipulation robots running Intelligence Factory's models, with the company handling data collection, model training, and evaluation before deployment.

Human Intelligence for Robots
Robotics is the new paradigm. With hardware converging, Intelligence is the biggest bottleneck. Our world was built for humans and we're giving robots the ability to reason and act like us. The way we learn any task - by seeing, doing, and feeling - is how we train robots. We're building general intelligence that works on any robot and fits seamlessly within our world.
