ABOUT MECKA AI
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate large-scale data capture, data labeling, and hardware deployment systems that generate high-quality datasets for leading AI and robotics teams. Our work spans hardware, operations, research, and customer delivery β and execution across these functions is critical.
