Maxinsights, a startup focused on creating for robots, has closed a $30 million seed round led by venture firm Peak XV. The company collects first-person video footage from over 5,000 contractors wearing cameras, which is then used to generate high-quality training datasets for robotic systems.
The approach addresses a key bottleneck in physical AI development: the need for large volumes of human-generated training data that robots can learn from. By using real-world contractor footage rather than , Maxinsights aims to improve the quality and diversity of robot training.
The funding round reflects broader investor confidence in physical AI, with $47.4 billion invested in the sector during the first half of 2026.
