01 The hidden market

Robots don’t learn from the world.
They learn from a supply chain.

Every useful physical-AI system begins with human motion, captured environments, simulated failures, and millions of judgments about what happened next.

This atlas maps the suppliers behind that learning loop, including a tightly screened intelligence layer: companies making deployable models for other robotics builders. Robot makers whose models remain captive to their own hardware stay out.

02 Eight layers

The data stack,
read as strata.

Each layer produces a different kind of evidence for machines. Select one to isolate it in the company index.
