About Datoric
YC company profile
The training data R&D engine for physical AI
Datoric develops custom datasets for robotics, treating research, collection, verification, and production as one continuous process. We work closely with frontier model teams to turn emerging limitations and model failures into testable data hypotheses, and run exclusive collections for specific data methods based on results.
Data is collected through private invite-only applications separated by modality, customer, and trust level. Every submission remains linked to the contributor, device, task, session, consent, rights, and processing history that produced it, giving our internal QA and fraud models the context to detect problems that may appear legitimate in the finished file.
Once a collection method is validated, we scale it up as a solution to the model failure and it also becomes a reusable data recipe for future custom projects or independently collected, rights-cleared data products.
