About Robocurve

Robocurve builds evaluation software that connects robot-control models, physical embodiments and benchmark tasks. Its Inspect Robots framework records execution traces and provides live Rerun visualisation, allowing an evaluator to inspect what happened during a trial alongside its result. It supports physical testing and simulation, with integrations including ROS and Isaac Lab.

The framework can run different classes of controller, from vision-language-action models to language models and coding agents that issue robot actions. Released under the MIT licence, it is available for other teams to adapt and extend. Robocurve uses this tooling alongside its operated evaluations and public reports, connecting comparative scores with the task definitions and execution records needed to examine a robot’s performance.

Events

  • 2026-09-14 - Funding - Robocurve raises $10M seed led by Initialized Capital

    Notable Capital, Decasonic, Y Combinator and Halcyon Futures participated in the financing. Robocurve will use the capital to expand its research team, test a wider range of robots and tasks, and support academic groups building open benchmarks. Its research has attracted more than 6 million views, Inspect Robots has exceeded 97,000 downloads, and researchers from more than 200 institutions have registered to build benchmarks.

  • 2026-06-27 - Product Launch - Robocurve releases Inspect Robots v0.1.0

    Inspect Robots lets benchmark authors define an evaluation once across robots and simulations. The initial public API exposed tasks, scenes, scorers, spaces and plugin authoring primitives. Y Combinator independently confirms Robocurve shipped the first version of its open-source framework.
