Egocentric data collection

Egocentric video data for robotics & embodied AI

First-person human-activity datasets — collected, quality-checked, and consent-cleared, delivered to your spec.

What we deliver

First-person video of everyday human tasks

First-person (head-mounted camera) video of everyday human tasks, captured to a defined spec and ready for annotation and model training.

Chopping vegetables
Fine bimanual manipulation
Sweeping
Whole-body tool use
Folding laundry
Deformable-object handling
Packing luggage
Long-horizon sequencing

Every clip is captured with a head-mounted camera to the resolution, frame rate and framing agreed in your capture spec — then packaged with per-clip metadata so it is ready for annotation and model training the day it lands.

Capabilities

Collection built like an engineering pipeline

Spec, capture, QC, consent and delivery — each stage owned, documented and repeatable across every batch.

Vetted collector network

Trained, background-checked collectors across Indian households and workplaces — briefed per task before a single frame is shot.

Capture to spec

Resolution, FPS, framing, lighting, session length and task diversity fixed in a written capture spec you sign off on.

QC pipeline with sample review

Every batch passes automated checks plus human review, and you approve a sample before full fulfilment.

Consent & privacy handling

Signed releases from every participant, plus documented PII and bystander handling on every clip.

Annotation-ready delivery

Consistent naming, per-clip metadata, task labels and timestamps — drop it straight into your annotation or training pipeline.

Scalable batch fulfilment

Repeatable batches on a fixed cadence, scaled from a pilot to tens of thousands of clips without changing the spec.

How it works

From spec to annotation-ready batch

Four stages, fixed acceptance criteria, and a sample you approve before we scale the batch.

01

Scope & spec

We agree the task list, capture spec, volumes and acceptance criteria in writing before collection starts.

02

Collect

Briefed collectors capture head-mounted first-person video of the agreed tasks in real environments.

03

QC + consent verification

Each clip is checked against the spec and matched to a signed release before it can enter a batch.

04

Deliver annotation-ready

Structured, labelled, metadata-complete batches delivered to your storage on an agreed schedule.

Use cases

Data for the models that act in the world

Teams building embodied systems use egocentric footage to ground policies in how people actually perform a task.

Humanoid & robot manipulation

Ground grasping, tool use and bimanual policies in how people actually do the task, not in lab-only demonstrations.

  • Grasp diversity
  • Tool use
  • Real environments

Imitation learning

Human demonstrations at scale — consistent viewpoint, consistent spec — for behaviour cloning and policy pre-training.

  • Demonstrations at scale
  • Consistent viewpoint
  • Long-horizon tasks

Activity recognition

Labelled everyday-activity footage for action recognition, temporal segmentation and benchmarking.

  • Action labels
  • Temporal segments
  • Benchmark sets
Why DV AI Labs

Rigour you can audit, batches you can plan around

We run data collection the way we run engagements — specified up front, checked at every stage, and delivered on a schedule you can build a roadmap on.

  • Process rigour — a written capture spec and acceptance criteria before collection begins.
  • Vetted collectors, trained and briefed per task, not an anonymous crowd.
  • Consent-cleared data with signed releases and documented bystander handling.
  • Cost-efficient delivery from India without cutting the QC pass.
  • Reliable, repeatable batches you can plan a training roadmap around.
