About Silicon Valley Robotics Center
Silicon Valley's robotics infrastructure company — providing hardware, data collection, and deployment support for the teams building the next generation of intelligent robots.
Built around practical robotics development
From hardware to datasets to model iteration
Community of researchers, startups, and builders
Our Mission
We believe the bottleneck to physical AI is not algorithms — it's access to hardware, high-quality training data, and expert operators. SVRC removes that bottleneck.
Silicon Valley Robotics Center (SVRC) exists to give robotics teams the infrastructure they need to move from idea to working policy to real-world deployment. We are not a research lab and not a consulting firm — we are an operating company that provides the hardware, data, platform, and human expertise that makes robot learning work in practice.
What We Do
SVRC operates across four pillars:
Hardware Access
Buy or lease robotic arms, mobile manipulators, humanoids, and quadrupeds. Same-day pickup at our Mountain View flagship. 40+ platforms in stock from OpenArm to Mobile ALOHA.
Data Collection
Managed teleoperation campaigns for imitation learning, RL, and VLA model training. Our trained operators collect high-quality demonstration data on your hardware or ours, delivered in learning-ready formats.
Fearless Platform
Robot learning infrastructure — upload failure logs, run benchmarks, A/B test policies, and close the loop between deployment failures and model improvement. The operating system for data-centric robotics.
Community
Forum, academy, meetups, and events that connect researchers, startups, and enterprise teams. A shared knowledge base and talent network for the robotics ecosystem.
Why Silicon Valley
SVRC is headquartered in Mountain View, California — minutes from Stanford University, UC Berkeley's robotics labs, Google DeepMind, NASA Ames Research Center, and dozens of robotics startups. This is not a coincidence.
The Bay Area has the deepest concentration of robotics talent, the fastest-moving ecosystem for physical AI, and the venture infrastructure to fund teams from first prototype to fleet deployment. Being here means our customers get same-day hardware access, local engineering support, and direct connections to the researchers and companies shaping the field.
Our Approach
We are practical over theoretical. SVRC works with teams that need to ship — not just research. Our focus is on the full pipeline from hardware selection to data collection to policy deployment, with an emphasis on closing the loop: deploy, observe failures, collect targeted data, retrain, redeploy.
We believe the bottleneck in robot learning is data — not just quantity, but quality, diversity, and the ability to learn from failure. Our approach centers on a closed loop: real robots, automatic evaluation, failure replay, and retraining. See Our Approach and Fearless Data Platform for details.
Who We Work With
University Research Labs
Hardware loans, data collection partnerships, and platform access for academic teams publishing on manipulation, locomotion, and embodied AI.
Robotics Startups
Seed-to-Series B companies that need hardware fast, data collected professionally, and infrastructure that scales without building everything from scratch.
Enterprise Innovation Teams
Manufacturing, logistics, and pharma companies running structured pilots to evaluate robotics for their operations — with clear ROI metrics and SLA-backed support.
Government & Defense Research
Agencies and defense research labs evaluating autonomous systems, with requirements for data security, IP protection, and on-site deployment.
The Team
SVRC was founded by robotics practitioners who spent years building and deploying robot systems before starting the company. Our team combines hands-on experience with robotic hardware, machine learning, teleoperation, and enterprise deployment. We hire operators, engineers, and researchers who have built real systems — not just published about them.
Our Location
Our flagship is at 1117 Independence Ave, Mountain View, CA 94043 — near NASA Ames Research Center and a short drive from Stanford and the heart of Silicon Valley. The facility includes robot demo areas, data collection stations, a hardware lab, and meeting spaces.
We also operate in major technology hubs across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific:
- US West: Mountain View, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego
- US East: New York, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Austin
- Europe: London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich
- Asia-Pacific: Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney
