What We Do
We're an exploratory lab building the most humanity-drenched robot foundation model possible, and we're doing it completely in the open. We help people train humanoid robots through real-world interaction. Not for corporate profit. For the common good.
How It Works
Anyone can start a local MeetRobot node with just one robot. You work with the robot hands-on. AI tools help with technical barriers, but you don't need to be an expert. Everything you learn gets shared openly so other communities can build on it.
Think of it like teaching a very eager, very clumsy intern, except this intern never gets tired, can be copied infinitely, and everything it learns can be shared with robots around the world.
Why We're Different
Most robot companies train their machines behind closed doors, optimizing for speed and profit. We train ours in public, optimizing for human dignity. We're not experts in robot training. We're figuring it out together. The data stays open, the methods stay transparent, and the results belong to everyone.

Where We Are Now
Let's be honest: Humanoid robots are brand new, clumsy, and not ready for everything you see in sci-fi movies. They're more "enthusiastic toddler" than "helpful assistant."
Our current reality: Safety first, always. We're developing protocols as we go. We're figuring out safe interaction methods together as a community. Progress is slow, mistakes happen, learning is public. This is ground-floor stuff. Early experiments, careful steps.
Why we're transparent about this: Companies hide limitations until products are polished. We show you the messy middle because that's where the learning happens. If you want to see a robot perfectly pour coffee, wait 5 years and buy a commercial model. If you want to help figure out how robots can be safely useful, join us now.
Why We're a Nonprofit
These aren't business decisions. They're principles for building technology worth trusting.
