SIM Teleop upgrade is live.
Control the Franka arm with your phone's gyroscope, not a keyboard. Tilt to move, with continuous motion mapped directly to the arm's 6 degrees of freedom.
Keyboard input gives you discrete, robotic motion. Gyroscope input captures natural human trajectories, which makes for far better robot training data.
No rig. Just your phone.

All teleoperation data collected from users feeds directly into our sim robot arm training.
We are combining three types of multimodal data to enable autonomous learning: egocentric video collected through ZenO, IMU sensor data, and the new sim teleoperation data added today.

ZenO Lab is opening up sim teleoperation.
Control a robot directly in your browser to complete missions, and once you reach a certain score, your trajectory data gets saved as a training dataset. No camera, no specialized equipment needed.
ZenO opens two paths for anyone to contribute to the Physical AI industry: an egocentric video data pipeline and sim teleoperation. This mission release is the start of that second path.
Full launch within 7 days.
Join the ZenO Discord to be the first to hear.

ZenO is not a data collection platform.
Anyone can collect video. That’s not the hard part.
The hard part is transforming everyday human activity into signals robots can actually learn from.
ZenO reconstructs head trajectory, reconstructs hand trajectory in 3D space, and converts egocentric human interaction into robotics-ready training data.
Teleoperation gives clean action data. But it cannot capture the messiness of real life:
uncertainty, adaptation, failure, and the intent behind every movement.
That is what everyday human activity contains.
Physical AI learns by observing humans.
ZenO turns human interaction into training data.

This is exactly why we're building ZenO.
Robots like GENE-26.5 are incredible but the bottleneck has always been data. High-quality, real-world human motion data at scale.
That's what we're solving. Every person with a smartphone becomes a data contributor. Every daily action becomes training signal for the next generation of robots. 🤖

We are back. After one year of quiet building.
Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability.
For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans.
Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up:
- A robotics-native foundation model.
- A 1:1 human-like robotic hand.
- A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch.
- A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes.
GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm.
Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on)
We are approaching the endgame for robotics.
And this is just a beginning.

Exactly.
Simulation scales locomotion.
Real-world data scales manipulation.
ZenO is building the physical AI data layer for that future.

Unitree founder Wang Xingxing:
In robotics, locomotion and basic motion is mostly solved. But grasping and manipulation—anything related to haptics—hasn’t been solved. That’s the key bottleneck preventing them from being deployed at scale in factories and homes.
He says that simulation is much faster for training but for manipulation tasks you still need real-world training data—for now.

The data Physical AI needs is changing.
For years, the focus was on locomotion and basic manipulation, walking, running, grasping. With the rise of VLA (Vision-Language-Action) models, the bar has shifted. Robots now need to see, reason about process, and predict outcomes. The same action means little without the why, the where the eyes went, and the intent behind it.
ZenO doesn't stop at collecting first-person video. When footage comes in, ZenO Studio reconstructs the head trajectory as 6-DoF pose, computes its spatial relationship to hand poses, and turns the whole thing into a format a robot can actually learn from.
Output ships in LeRobot v2.1, drop-in compatible with Physical Intelligence π0, ALOHA ACT, and similar pipelines.
Teleoperation produces clean action data, but it can't capture the environmental variability and failure modes a humanoid will actually encounter. That's why we build datasets from everyday human activity. Five minutes of someone cooking becomes a dataset where gaze, hands, and intent are baked in.
Through our app, ZenO is building infrastructure where anyone with a smartphone can produce high-quality training data. Training data for the humanoid era no longer belongs only to expensive labs.
Physical AI learns by watching us. We turn how we watch into data.
