Summary

Config develops data infrastructure for general-purpose robotic bimanual manipulation. Its platform helps teams build, fine-tune and evaluate robot models from raw data through deployment, reducing the overhead of managing physical robot-learning infrastructure.

Market context

Config is positioned around one of the main bottlenecks in physical AI: scalable, high-quality robot-action data. Its focus on data conversion, human action collection and closed-loop model adaptation makes it more of a robotics infrastructure supplier than a robot OEM. No proprietary general-purpose robot platform; Config builds robotics data infrastructure and foundation-model technology for bimanual manipulation.

• Capability: Human and teleoperation data collection. Robot-aligned action estimation. Foundation-model fine-tuning for target tasks. Closed-loop model evaluation and policy refinement
• Strategic position: Data infrastructure layer for physical AI. Supplier of model-training infrastructure for robotics companies and industrial manufacturers
