About

Mecka AI is a New York City-based embodied AI startup that trains robots using human motion data collected through body sensors and iPhones 1. Rather than relying on teleoperation (humans manually controlling robots), Mecka gathers physical motion data from humans — including hand gestures, walking gaits, and other movements — to develop embodied AI models 1. The company was founded in 2024 by CEO Josh Gao alongside co-founders Mogen Cheng, Jason Chong, and Duy Nguyen 1. Mecka projects an annual run rate of $100 million based on existing contracts and employs roughly 40 people 1.
