/ ABOUT TELEMANUAL

Robots learn from experience. We make experience collectable.

Telemanual is the data and teleoperation layer for embodied AI — so every team building robots can spend their time on policies, not plumbing.

/ WHY WE EXIST

The bottleneck isn't models. It's data.

Modern robot learning is hungry for real-world demonstrations — but collecting them is slow, manual, and fragmented across formats and tools. Teams burn months building capture rigs and data pipelines before a single policy trains.

We started Telemanual to make that disappear: one pipeline to collect, teleoperate, label, and export real-world robot data — on hardware you own or ours. So the hard part stays the research, not the plumbing.

Real-world beats simulation alone
Policies that act in the world need data from the world.
Open formats win
Portable, standard data outlasts any single tool or vendor.
Speed compounds
Days-not-quarters to data means more shots on goal.

/ OUR VALUES

How we work.

Useful over flashy

We ship what moves a robot program forward.

Rigor

Reproducible, provenance-first, measured.

Customer-obsessed

We sit with teams on the factory and lab floor.

Builder energy
