HOME / Why MOTUS / Data Flywheel

The more robots deployed, the stronger MOTUS RFM becomes

It starts with skilled workers' hand techniques, then deployed robots collect field data again, a virtuous cycle. The more factories adopt, the better the model; the better the model, the easier adoption becomes.

The flywheel has already started turning

At the data studio in the LTS VINA factory, we collect skilled workers' motions in gloves every day.

02 // Four stages

With every turn, the model improves

01 · COLLECT

Collect

Records skilled workers' hand motion, wrist 6-DOF and wrist camera video simultaneously.

  • Straight and curved sewing collected by process
  • Sewing-dedicated collection glove and depth-sensing camera
Collection under way
02 · LEARN

Train

Collected data is refined and used to train the sewing-specialized RFM with ACT imitation learning, validated first in simulation.

  • Sim-to-Real based on Isaac Sim
  • Unbroken motion through action chunking
  • Generalizes toward handling 8 or more materials
Target: 100 ms or lessTarget: 85% or more
03 · DEPLOY

Deploy

Mounted as a fixed cell beside the existing sewing machine. At first it observes human work in Shadow Mode and only compares judgments.

  • Mount-on RaaS that does not change equipment
  • ROS-based stack, independent of arm and hand vendors
  • Real-factory pilot under way at LTS VINA

04 · UPDATE

Update

Retrain on field data gathered by deployed robots, and apply the improved model to every factory's robots at once.

  • Field failures become the next training data
  • More factories mean more variety of materials and processes
  • The collector shifts from people to robots

03 // Shift of the collector

People start, and robots take over

At first skilled workers and gloves collect the data; as robots deploy, robots collect data directly in the field. Collection cost falls while data grows.

04 // Why it is hard to follow

Data, cost and field accumulate together

DATA

Early claim on field data

We hold an exclusive data contract with LTS VINA and are building up real garment-factory expert data first.

COST

Low collection and build cost

Actuators are bought in volume to keep cost down, so differentiation sits in software.

FIELD

Deployment is data

Each additional robot brings data on new processes and materials, lowering the burden of the next factory.
