Data platform for physical AI training

Overview

Maxinsights builds the data layer for physical AI. It collects real-world human activity to create robot-ready training data, handling collection, quality control, annotation, and curation with its own models. Its products include MaxLoop, which scores and corrects data collection as it happens, and MaxGlove, a sensor glove that captures tactile touch and force data. The company operates globally through a network of over 5,000 contractors and serves more than 30 customers, using an end-to-end pipeline from data capture to delivery. Compared with competitors, it combines hardware (MaxGlove) and software (MaxLoop and related models) to provide real-time data quality feedback and a scalable data-collection infrastructure across many countries.
