In their words

OS3 is building the platform that makes intelligent robots accessible to every business. Today, robotics is constrained by two fundamental bottlenecks: hardware is too expensive to deploy at scale, and robots are difficult to train because high-quality robotics data is scarce and costly to collect. We built OS3 to solve both. Our two-person team designed and a US-made mobile humanoid robot for a fraction of the cost of commercial alternatives. On the intelligence side, instead of relying on expensive robot-generated training data, we trained our own video-action model on 150,000 hours of real-world video spanning more than 2,000 tasks. Every deployed robot feeds new experience into our reinforcement learning pipeline, self improving robot fleet over time. This creates a robot that can be deployed across industries to automate repetitive, physical work without requiring a new robot or training pipeline for every task. Our robots are already deployed in hotels, with customers now expanding the platform into biotech, hospitals, and data centers, including a wet lab at Stanford. Our mission is to do for robotics what Apple did for personal computing: take technology that was once expensive, specialized, and inaccessible and make it powerful and usable at massive scale. We’re building toward a world with billions of intelligent robots, and OS3 is the platform that makes that possible.

Is this you?

If you're behind OS3: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
