Korea’s robot powerhouses back Config to become the data TSMC for learning machines

Not robots but the data they rely on

Korea’s biggest manufacturers are backing Config, positioning the startup as the “TSMC of robot data.” Instead of building robots, Config focuses on providing the high-quality training and operational data robots need to learn, adapt, and function reliably. The backers argue that better data—not just better hardware—is the fastest path to making robots truly useful.
