TechCrunch had previously reported that the startup was nearing a new funding round at a $500 million valuation. Founded in 2024, the startup intends to do for robotics what Scale AI, Mercor, Surge, and other data-labeling companies have done for LLMs. Those companies supply the human-generated data these systems learn from.

TechCrunch 此前曾报道称，该公司即将以 5 亿美元的估值完成新一轮融资。这家成立于 2024 年的初创公司旨在为机器人领域做贡献，正如 Scale AI、Mercor、Surge 等数据标注公司为大语言模型（LLM）所做的那样。这些公司提供系统学习所需的人工生成数据。

Mecka pays people to record themselves doing everyday tasks, like making coffee or fixing cars, while wearing body sensors and using smartphones. Other startups that collect real-world data for robot training include XDOF, which was in talks to raise a Series B round at a $1.2 billion valuation according to TechCrunch’s previous reporting. Human-data platforms that began with LLMs are also expanding into robotics, such as Scale AI and Micro1.

Mecka 付费让人佩戴身体传感器并使用智能手机，记录自己完成日常任务的过程，例如煮咖啡或修理汽车。其他收集机器人训练真实世界数据的初创公司还包括 XDOF，据 TechCrunch 此前报道，该公司曾商谈以 12 亿美元的估值进行 B 轮融资。从大语言模型起步的人类数据平台也正在向机器人领域扩张，例如 Scale AI 和 Micro1。
