Ep#85: Tutor Intelligence

June 4, 2026 · 1 h 1 min

Show notes

Collecting robot data at scale is key to deploying working manipulation policies, and the team from Tutor Intelligence is here to tell us about how to accomplish it. Their new announcement: a massive, 100-robot “data factory,” with a behind-the-scenes look at how to build a teleoperation platform and how to make robots and policies that are useful for their customers.

Tutor Intelligence is a full-stack robotics company: they build robot arms, they sell robot arms, they write the software and they train neural networks. Josh Gruenstein, Jesse Michel, Shiraz Khan, and Joe McCalmon join us to tell us more about how they scale both teleop data and human interventions from their teleoperators in order to train the policies they need.
