Config records humans performing physical tasks in controlled studio environments and in the field, then converts that data to better suit robotic motion and interaction. The company operates data production out of Seoul and Hanoi with a workforce of nearly 300 and has accumulated over 100,000 hours of human motion data. Config’s approach emphasizes transforming data before training so models work more effectively for robots rather than retraining models on mismatched data. The startup counts large manufacturers, system integrators, and customers in agriculture and defense as current customers and is already generating revenue. Founded in January 2025 by CEO Minjoon Seo and three co-founders with backgrounds at Meta, Waymo, Google and Naver, Config plans to scale to one million hours of data, grow enterprise ARR to $10 million by end of 2027, and launch a cloud-based Robot-as-a-Service offering.
