What we do

Collect

Raw data

First-person video of real work, captured on site and anonymised before it leaves our system.

  • Head and wrist camera video
  • Depth, where the task needs it
  • Site and task metadata
Label

Annotated data

Cleaned, checked and annotated, then packaged in the format your training code expects.

  • Task segments and instructions
  • 2D and 3D hand pose, wrist trajectories
  • Object, contact and success labels
Commission

Custom collection

You tell us the task and setting. We design the protocol, find the site and deliver the data.

  • Protocol and task design
  • Site and worker onboarding
  • Agreed volume and timeline
Service

Your data, annotated

Already have robot or human video? Send it over and we will annotate it to your own schema.

  • Teleoperation and robot footage
  • Egocentric and third-person video
  • Your labels, your format
How it works

From the first recorded frame to a dataset you can train on

  1. 01

    Collect

    Workers wear head and wrist cameras while doing their normal tasks. Everyone recorded has agreed to it.

  2. 02

    Anonymise

    We blur faces and remove name badges, documents and screens before anything else happens.

  3. 03

    Annotate

    Each recording is checked, split into task steps, tracked for hand motion and annotated.

  4. 04

    Certify

    Every clip ships with a record of where, when and with whose consent it was captured.

Capture setup

What we record with

CamerasHead mounted, plus wrist mounted on request
Video1080p to 4K, 30 or 60 fps
DepthRGB-D capture, synced per frame
MotionIMU data from the headset
Hand tracking21 keypoints per hand
SettingsWorking sites with consenting staff only

Rigs can be adjusted to match your robot's camera placement.

Quality checks

An episode ships only if it passes all six

  • Frame qualityNo heavy blur, bad exposure or dropped frames
  • Hands in viewBoth hands visible through the task
  • Complete taskA clear start and finish, with no gaps
  • Sensors in syncVideo, depth and motion line up in time
  • Fully anonymisedNo faces, badges or screens left in frame
  • Consent on fileEvery person matched to a signed record
Where it is used

Data for teams teaching robots to work in the real world

  • Imitation learning

    Human demonstrations a policy can learn to copy, step by step.

  • Vision-language-action models

    Video paired with task labels and plain descriptions of what is happening.

  • World models

    Large volumes of first-person video showing how objects move and respond to hands.

  • Testing and evaluation

    Held-out recordings of real tasks to check a model before it reaches a real site.

Working with people

The people in our data know they are in it

Our datasets come from skilled workers doing their jobs. We explain what we record and why, ask for their agreement, and pay them for their time.

  • Clear consentExplained in the worker's own language. We tell them plainly that the footage is used to train AI and robots.
  • Their choiceJoining is voluntary. Anyone can stop or ask for their footage to be removed, with no effect on their job.
  • Private by defaultFaces and personal details are removed before the data is processed or licensed.
Encrypted storageAt rest and in transit
Access controlRaw footage seen only by the processing team
Audit trailEvery clip traceable to its consent record
DPDP alignedBuilt around India's data protection law
Licensing

Terms that fit where you are

Catalog

Ready datasets on a non-exclusive license. Start training this week.

Custom

Collected to your specification, with ownership agreed before we start.

Time-limited exclusivity

Sole use of a dataset for an agreed period.

Delivered as LeRobotRLDSHDF5MP4 + JSON or your own schema.

Questions

Things people usually ask us

Can I see the data before I commit?

Yes. We share a sample episode with its full provenance record so your team can load it, inspect it and check it fits your pipeline.

Where is the data collected?

In working businesses across India, starting with manufacturing units, laundries, packing units and workshops around Pune. We add new sites based on the tasks our clients need.

Can you collect a specific task for us?

Yes. Tell us the task, setting and volume. We design the capture protocol, find a suitable site and agree a delivery schedule with you.

How do you handle consent and privacy?

Every worker gives written consent in their own language and is paid directly by us. Faces, badges, documents and screens are removed before processing, and each clip is linked to its consent record.

Is the same data sold to other companies?

Catalog datasets are licensed to more than one client. Custom collections are covered by the terms we agree with you, including exclusive options.

What if a worker withdraws consent later?

We remove their footage from all future deliveries and tell affected clients, as set out in our license terms.

Ask us for a sample episode

Tell us what your robot needs to learn. We will send a sample from a real site, with its provenance record, so you can judge the data yourself.

Onboarding

Getting started takes about two weeks

  1. Site visit

    We visit, understand the work and agree which tasks to record.

  2. Agreement

    A short partnership agreement covering payment, privacy and what we record.

  3. Team briefing

    We explain the project to your staff and take consent from those who want to join.

  4. Recording starts

    We set up the cameras and stay on site for the first few days.

About

We record how people work so robots can learn to help

Our story

Why we started

Robots are learning to fold, pack, sort and assemble. To do that well, they need to watch skilled people do the work in real places.

The gap

Simulation misses the small corrections people make without thinking. Real-world recordings of real work are still scarce.

Why India

Millions of people here do skilled physical work every day. We capture it properly, with clear consent and care for privacy.

Who we are

Engineers who have spent years building AI products for US clients. We bring the same discipline to every dataset.

How we work

Three things we hold ourselves to

Clean from the start

Consent and provenance are part of the recording from day one. We never try to fix them later.

Checked, every time

Each episode passes the same checks before it reaches a client. If it fails, it stays with us.

Fair to people

The people in our data are paid directly and treated with respect.
