Mecka

Mecka builds infrastructure for Physical AI, helping robotics and embodied-AI teams turn real-world human activity into systems that can learn, be evaluated, and operate reliably outside the lab. Its Egoverse platform combines large-scale egocentric datasets with telemetry across vision, depth, tactile sensing, motion, and localization.

Through developer tools, APIs, and enterprise services, Mecka supports the evaluation and deployment of task-specific robotic systems. The company works with hardware OEMs, model developers, and commercial partners, providing the data and operational layer for robotics without manufacturing robots itself.
