/ FOR RESEARCH LABS & ACADEMIA
Spend grant hours on research, not data plumbing.
Reproducible, citable robot datasets in open formats — plus browser teleoperation and academic pricing. Built so a lab of any size can collect, publish, and reproduce real-world robot data.
Open & standard formats
LeRobot, RLDS, MCAP, HDF5 — portable and tool-agnostic, no proprietary wrappers.
Reproducible by design
Versioned, content-addressed datasets with auto datasheets and provenance.
Academic pricing
Discounted credits and grants for university, nonprofit, and student labs.
Publish & share
One-click export to Hugging Face for open, citable benchmarks.

/ HOW LABS USE TELEMANUAL
From pilot to published in four steps.
Connect
Plug in lab rigs or use ours. One SDK, calibrated and ready.
Collect
Teleoperate or run autonomous rollouts; everything records.
Version
Auto datasheets, provenance, and a permanent version hash.
Publish
Export to Hugging Face with a citation and share your benchmark.
/ FROM THE LAB
Trusted by people who publish.
Telemanual took our lab from zero to 10k clean demonstrations in three weeks. The LeRobot export dropped straight into our training pipeline — no glue code.
Teleoperating our humanoid from another continent at sub-80ms changed how the team collaborates. Students collect overnight while we sleep.
Academic pricing plus datasets we can actually cite made it an easy yes for our grant committee. Provenance is built in, not bolted on.
