MassRobotics and Digital Divide Data Partner to Accelerate the Future of Robotics and Autonomy

Boston, MA, [9/16/2025]MassRobotics, the largest independent robotics innovation hub, and Digital Divide Data (DDD), a global leader in human-in-the-loop services for AI and autonomy, today announced a new associated network partnership designed to help robotics companies move faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.

Robotics and autonomous systems depend on accurate data, validated models, and the ability to handle tricky real-world scenarios. DDD brings years of experience providing human-in-the-loop services, such as data annotation, sensor validation, perception training, and edge-case review, that are critical to making robots safer and more reliable. By teaming up with MassRobotics, DDD will support the startups and scaling companies in the MassRobotics community as they bring next-generation robotics to market.

Why This Partnership Matters

  • For robotics startups: Access to proven, scalable human-in-the-loop services that can reduce development time and strengthen autonomy performance.

  • For DDD: A chance to work side by side with innovators solving the hardest challenges in robotics and autonomy, applying its expertise where it can have the most impact.

Leadership Perspectives

"MassRobotics is thrilled to welcome Digital Divide Data as an Associated Network Partner. Their deep expertise in AI and data operations brings invaluable support to our startup community, helping companies scale smarter and faster. This collaboration strengthens our ecosystem and empowers the next generation of robotics innovators to grow even bigger and bolder."
