Hillbot
"Embodied AI for the Real World"
La Jolla, California embodied-AI startup; builds humanoid and general-purpose robots using its open-source ManiSkill and SAPIEN simulation platforms.
Hillbot Inc. is an embodied-AI robotics company based in La Jolla, California, developing humanoid and general-purpose robots for tasks in industrial and household settings.
The company builds on two open-source platforms it develops, ManiSkill and SAPIEN, which generate simulated environments and synthetic training data for robot learning; Hillbot describes this as a way to train manipulation and locomotion skills without depending solely on real-world data collection. Its published demonstrations include humanoid robots, quadruped platforms, and bimanual robotic arms performing pick-and-place, locomotion, and manipulation tasks, and the company describes its approach as building general-purpose robots skill by skill, combining real-world demonstration data with simulation-generated data to train each new capability.
Hillbot has raised early-stage funding, including a seed round backed by Cherubic Ventures, and third-party company records list its headcount at between 11 and 50 employees.
