Robotics Data Collection + Annotation

Real-world demonstration data, built around your requirements.

Describe the activities, scenarios, perspectives, volume, and labels your model needs. We design and operate the collection program, capture and synchronize the data, run privacy and quality review, annotate every approved episode, and deliver a versioned dataset. Already have videos? We annotate those too.

Two Ways to Start

Use your data, or commission a new collection.

The same project-specific annotation and quality workflow supports both existing source data and newly produced demonstrations.

Computer vision annotation and segmentation
SERVICE // DATA_INGEST_ANNOTATION

01 // Existing Data

Send us your robotics or demonstration videos.

We can segment, annotate, validate, correct, convert, and enrich supplied videos, images, sensor data, point clouds, or existing labels according to your ontology.

02 // New Data Production

No source data yet? Define what should be recorded.

We turn task requirements into a production protocol, organize real-world demonstrations through controlled collection operations, review and synchronize the recordings, annotate them, and prepare the final dataset.

Collection Scale

Built for pilots and high-volume production.

From focused pilot datasets to large-scale, multi-environment collection programs. Scale across tasks, participants, environments, viewpoints, sensor configurations, and annotation depths.

Program Tier 01

100+ hours

Task-specific demonstrations with project-defined collection, QA, annotation, and delivery controls.

Program Tier 02

1,000+ hours

Task-specific demonstrations with project-defined collection, QA, annotation, and delivery controls.

Program Tier 03

10,000+ hours

Task-specific demonstrations with project-defined collection, QA, annotation, and delivery controls.

Program Tier 04

Custom enterprise scale

Task-specific demonstrations with project-defined collection, QA, annotation, and delivery controls.

Annotyx AI designs the collection protocol, contributor workflow, quality gates, annotation schema, capacity plan, and delivery pipeline around the required production volume.

Model Capabilities

Training inputs for physical representation learning.

How custom demonstrations support key perceptual and control models.

VLA-Model Pretraining

Diverse demonstration segments to pretrain Vision-Language-Action policies for task understanding.

Hand-Object Interactions

High-resolution multi-angle logs to model contact points, grasp frames, and finger positioning.

Success & Failure Classification

Explicit recordings of failed task trajectories and recovery loops to train robust world models.

Affordance Learning

Mapping dynamic object surfaces and spatial boundaries to pre-determine potential actions.

Task Decomposition

Breaking complex, multi-stage sequences into clean temporal subtasks labeled sequentially.

Action Anticipation

Predicting next-step action verbs and object targets based on sequential visual histories.

Multiview Perception

Aligning camera feeds from wearable chest setups and workspace mounts to resolve occlusion.

Human-to-Robot Transfer

Gathering structured human kinematics that map cleanly onto target robotic joint configurations.

Operating Lifecycle

From requirements to a validated dataset.

One controlled workflow covers both customer-supplied source data and newly produced demonstration recordings.

PHASE_01 // DISCOVERY

Define Requirements

We scope tasks, environments, people, perspectives, volume, variations, annotation depth, output format, and model objectives.

PHASE_02 // PILOT DESIGN

Design the Pilot

Capture instructions, task definitions, annotation guidelines, and acceptance criteria are validated in a focused pilot before production scaling.

PHASE_03 // DATA SOURCE

Collect or Ingest

We ingest existing customer videos or operate new recording programs around the approved collection protocol.

PHASE_04 // ANNOTATION

Label the Data

Tasks, subtasks, actions, objects, states, interactions, outcomes, and temporal boundaries are labeled to the agreed ontology.

PHASE_05 // VALIDATION

Review Quality

Raw files and labels are checked for completeness, consistency, technical usability, privacy requirements, and schema validity.

PHASE_06 // DELIVERY

Package the Dataset

Videos, annotations, metadata, and documentation are delivered in the agreed standard or project-specific format.

Robotics Annotation

Labels for tasks, interactions, states, and outcomes.

Annotation depth is defined per project rather than forced into a fixed schema.

Tasks & Time

  • Task and subtask labels
  • Frame-accurate action segments
  • Instruction-to-action alignment
  • Detailed video captions

Hands & Objects

  • Active hand and object
  • Grasp and release points
  • Contact and collision events
  • Pick-and-place interactions

State & Outcome

  • Object state transitions
  • Success and failure labels
  • Failure-mode explanations
  • Recovery attempts and actions

Space & Motion

  • Body and hand keypoints
  • Object positions and trajectories
  • Movement directions
  • End-effector or arm poses when available

A typical manipulation sequence can be labeled as: detect object → determine grasp point → approach → grasp → move → reach target → release → evaluate outcome.

Collection Program // Kitchen Manipulation

Multiview kitchen demonstrations for robotics models.

Project-specific kitchen collections capture defined human demonstrations across required tasks, hours, camera views, participants, environments, objects, variations, labels, and delivery formats.

Required activities and scenarios
Target video hours or episode count
Camera perspectives and sensors
Number of people and environments
Objects, variations, and edge cases
Annotations and delivery format
Humanoid bimanual kitchen manipulation task demonstration
BENCHMARK // KITCHEN_BIMANUAL_MANIPULATION

Example Task Set

  • Sort ingredients and objects
  • Pick up, move, and place items
  • Open and close drawers or cabinets
  • Load and unload dishes
  • Clean worktops or tables
  • Pour liquids and open packaging
  • Use simple tools or appliances
  • Complete multi-step kitchen routines

Capture variations can include different people, handedness, speeds, object positions, lighting, task order, successful attempts, failures, retries, ego views, third-person views, and synchronized cameras.

Programs scale across people, locations, task variations, object configurations, lighting conditions, success and failure cases, ego views, third-person views, and synchronized camera arrays. Capacity and production schedules are engineered around the approved scope.
Data Scope & Integration

Designed for multimodal robotics training pipelines.

Human demonstration datasets support visual representation learning, task understanding, temporal planning, affordance learning, world modeling, and human-to-robot transfer. The delivered schema can also align with robot-specific telemetry supplied by the customer.

Suitable for

  • Pretraining visual-language representation models.
  • Modeling temporal subtask planning & workflows.
  • Isolating success and failure markers.
  • Learning affordance bounds and scene configurations.

Integrated when supplied

  • Proprioceptive joint positions or motor actions.
  • End-effector commands or force torque metrics.
  • Gripper force values or tactile signals.
  • Direct executable robot policies.

Technical note: Direct robot-control programs often combine demonstration video with robot-specific state and action data. Annotyx AI structures the visual, temporal, semantic, and metadata layers for that broader training stack.

Need existing videos labeled or a new dataset produced?

Describe the activities, data volume, perspectives, variations, annotations, and target format. We will design a controlled pilot and the path to production-scale delivery.
