Overview
Avatar Robotics builds teleoperated humanoid robots for industrial labor, combining remote human operators, VR headsets, and AI-driven autonomy into an always-on warehouse workforce. The company sources wheeled humanoids equipped with dual robotic arms and deploys them into live fulfillment environments for picking, packing, kitting, and sorting — generating real-world training data to advance robotic foundation models.
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Francisco, Avatar charges customers a recurring fee below the cost of human labor and envisions scaling to millions of robots across warehouses, factories, and farms.
