PrismaX launches teleop platform for robotic arms - The Robot Report

PrismaX, a San Francisco-based startup with $11 million in funding, has launched a teleoperation platform for robotic arms aimed at bridging the gap between robotics and mainstream adoption. The platform allows users to remotely operate robotic arms and serves as a foundational step toward a future where humans and robots collaborate to enhance human capabilities. PrismaX’s co-founder and CEO Bayley Wang emphasized that this tele-op system is a proof of concept for a labor market where humans and robots work hand in hand, with the company focusing initially on teleoperations and visual data collection to train AI models. PrismaX has outlined a roadmap aligned with the robotics industry's evolution: in the short term, teleoperators will gather data and gain experience; in the mid-term, operators will manage fleets of robots performing real tasks; and in the long term, robots will achieve high autonomy powered by foundational AI models. The company envisions a self-reinforcing "data flywheel" where increased robot operation generates valuable datasets that improve AI,
