Teleo: Paving the Way for a Robotics Revolution with Supervised Autonomy and AI-Powered Data Collection
Teleo, a pioneering construction robotics company, has its sights set beyond automating excavators and bulldozers. Their innovative approach utilizes retrofitted machinery, enabling customers to operate existing fleets with a semi-autonomous twist. But Teleo's ambitions extend far beyond immediate applications. They envision the data collected from these operations as the key to unlocking a transformative "ChatGPT moment" for the entire robotics industry. Why Teleo Sees a Robotics Data Gap While the name "ChatGPT moment" might conjure images of media hype, Teleo CEO Vinay Shet has a different perspective. He sees a parallel in the vast datasets used to train language models like ChatGPT. These models thrive on information – trillions of words and code – that simply doesn't exist yet in the world of robotics. "The best data set we know of in the robotics world is about 2.4 million tokens," Shet explains, contrasting this with the language realm's…
