About Trace
At Trace, we are pioneering a transformative data marketplace tailored for physical AI.
Physical AI has the capacity to revolutionize various industries, from robotics to advanced systems capable of perceiving, moving, and interacting with their surroundings. Currently, the advancement in this field is hindered by a significant limitation: the absence of a scalable solution for gathering high-quality, real-world training data. Unlike language models, which are trained on vast datasets, frontier robotics models operate on considerably less data due to the lack of an analogous 'internet of robotics data.'
Trace aims to change this landscape.
We are developing the necessary infrastructure to capture and convert real-world data from human activities into training data for robotics systems, embodied AI models, and other AI applications that function beyond web interfaces and in the tangible world.
Our success will significantly hasten the evolution of physical AI, broadening the capabilities of these systems to operate safely and efficiently in real-world scenarios. Our platform is engineered to accommodate various data formats, capture workflows, and respond to diverse customer needs as they evolve. What we are capturing today is merely the beginning.
