Remy AI
Remy AI is a San Francisco robotics startup in Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch building dexterous, AI-powered robots for e-commerce third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses. Its core bet is data: the team captures real human dexterity on real job sites using head-mounted cameras paired with wearable tactile sensors, recording synchronized vision, motion, and contact force. That data trains robotics foundation models so a bi-manual mobile robot can pick, pack, kit, and receive across changing inventory without reprogramming, deploy in weeks rather than months, and target roughly half the cost of legacy automation via a robot-as-a-service model.
