Our Origins: Born from the Challenges of Real-World Robotics.
The Robotin Network was not built in a classroom. Our founding team pioneered one of the world's first autonomous carpet cleaning robots, bringing deep hardware expertise into the heart of embodied AI development.
Yet in that process, we hit the same wall that stalls the entire industry: data starvation. A robot's body could be engineered to near perfection, but its brain struggled to navigate the messy, unscripted reality of a human home. Existing datasets were too static, too clean, and too disconnected from physical interaction. To build truly intelligent machines, we first needed to map the physical world they operate in.
The Robotin Network was born from that realization.
The Mission: Powering Physical AI with DePIN.
This wasn't just our problem — it was an industry-wide bottleneck. Centralized data collection is slow, expensive, and structurally limited in diversity. Robotin addresses this by building a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for embodied AI data.
Contributors worldwide earn rewards for supplying real household data. The result is a dataset that no centralized pipeline can replicate: diverse across geographies, environments, and daily routines, and not locked behind any single organization.
What We Do: Building the Data Foundation for Embodied AI.
・ Phase 1 — Perception & Ego-centric Video (Current).
Contributors capture household perception images and ego-centric task video through the Robotin app, using a phone mounted on a head or chest strap. This covers both the static visual state of real home environments and the continuous first-person footage that VLA models and world models are trained on.
・ Phase 2 — Professional Capture Hardware (Next).
Robotin will release dedicated wearable capture hardware for ego-centric data collection, delivering higher frame rates, more stable framing, and better low-light performance than phone-based capture. Contributors who adopt the hardware unlock higher data quality tiers and corresponding reward multipliers.
・ Phase 3 — Generalization (Future).
Ultimately, we aim to bring Robotin's own embodied robot platforms into real households — devices that operate during daily routines and continuously generate large-scale embodied intelligence data, closing the loop between contributor network and deployed robot.
Our Vision: A Fair, Collaborative Ecosystem.
Robotin is a data network owned by its contributors. Through a transparent, blockchain-enabled infrastructure, value flows back to the people who generate it — not captured by a centralized intermediary.
The robots of tomorrow will be trained on data from real homes, contributed by real people, rewarded fairly. That's the network we're building.
