Cortex AI

Cortex AI is focused on creating the world's most extensive and varied dataset of real-world robot and human interactions in workplace environments. This data serves as a crucial training and evaluation resource for embodied AI systems, enabling advancements in how AI interacts with the physical world.

Specifically, Cortex AI provides three core data types: firstly, egocentric data consisting of real-world human video footage with detailed hand and body pose, depth information, and subtask labels. Secondly, robot data encompassing trajectories collected from manipulators and humanoids operating in authentic industrial settings. Finally, human-in-the-loop rollouts and evaluations, capturing data from real-world deployments where remote operators assist robots in failure scenarios, providing valuable feedback for continuous model improvement.

The Cortex Marketplace facilitates a mutually beneficial ecosystem where workplaces are compensated for hosting data collection and evaluation sessions, while AI labs gain access to invaluable in-the-wild data. This initiative leverages the marketplace expertise of the founder, drawing upon experience from Carousell, a C2C marketplace that achieved unicorn status.
