Ex $NVDA developer @animesh_garg is working hard on COBALT.
While $GITLAWB is becoming the collaboration layer for AI agents $COBALT is building the platform that could become GitHub for robotics.
Built by ex-NVIDIA researcher @animesh_garg, $COBALT turns smartphones into robot controllers, making robot-data collection dramatically cheaper and more scalable.
And the market is already showing where value is accruing.
Robot-data companies are raising tens of millions of dollars while Tesla, NVIDIA, Skild AI and others continue pointing to the same bottleneck:
Data.
If Physical AI becomes one of the defining technology markets of this decade, the platforms controlling the data layer could become some of the biggest winners.
That’s the bet behind $COBALT.
Robots still need a ton of real-world data to get smarter, but collecting that data the old way is super slow and crazy expensive.
That’s why @animesh_garg COBALT project caught my eye. It’s a cloud platform where anyone can control a robot using just their smartphone. Move your phone, the robot moves. Super simple way to gather high-quality demos at scale.
Been following it and it really feels like one of the most practical breakthroughs out there for cracking robotics biggest challenge ->collecting high-quality data at scale.
While $GITLAWB is becoming the GitHub-style collaboration layer for AI agents, $COBALT is building the platform that could become GitHub for robotics.
The missing piece in robotics isn’t hardware.
It’s data.
Today, there’s no shared repository where robot demonstrations can be stored, reused, improved, and compounded across the industry.
$COBALT changes that.
By turning billions of smartphones into data collection devices, @animesh_garg is creating an open robot-data commons that continuously grows with every contribution.
The result?
A platform where robotics data scales the same way open-source software did.
GitHub transformed software development.
$COBALT is aiming to do the same for robotics.
So we just used COBALT for unsupervised remote teleop from Vienna to Atlanta.
- The infra adds only 150ms delay on a conference grade wifi network (everyone knows its not the best!)
- No Supervision on the robot side (it was 3am in Atlanta!)
- Most importantly, no more special devices needed.
If you can take a video call, then you can provide robot interventions on demand!
Robotics is still data starved. Collecting high-quality robot demonstrations remains brutally slow and expensive.
Introducing COBALT: A cloud-native teleoperation platform designed for large-scale robot learning.
We are democratizing data collection by leveraging the hardware everyone already owns: the smartphone
All you need is to download an app (today)!

New ATH
Thesis :
Dogeus is properly the most no brainer runner we’ve had on ETH in a long time and let me explain why
Doge did 70 billion market cap, biggest EVER meme and it is Elon’s pure focus
He is the doge father, known for promoting doge a TON.
He has stated himself that memes are a key part of everything, whoever controls the memes controls the universe.
What’s the best way to push doge harder? To embrace a doge meme, to call himself dogeus Maximus. Matter of time.
