Egocentric household robotics video

Commissionable

First-person video of real household work — cooking, cleaning, laundry, tidying — captured in lived-in homes rather than staged environments, against a defined task list with dispatched and recovered wearable rigs.

Why this data is novel

Humanoid programs commission training corpora at very large scale, and every hour requires a real person in a real home wearing a camera. Existing egocentric datasets skew toward Western homes; this program class captures kitchens, appliances and objects rare in those corpora.

Source methodology and collection context

Contributors within established networks opt into a defined task list. Wearable rigs are dispatched and recovered through in-market physical presence. Capture follows a per-task specification with defined session lengths.

Composition (organic-data statement)

Human-generated, non-synthetic egocentric capture. Paired audio is collected only where every party opts in and jurisdiction review clears capture. AI-assisted annotation, where used, is disclosed in the dataset card.

Public availability and prior licensing

Pending verificationCommissioned output is new capture; prior-licensing status stated per program

Duplication, overlap and contamination

Pending verificationOverlap with public egocentric corpora assessed and reported per program

Rights and permitted uses

Consent at task acceptance for the declared purpose, with participant compensation in the payment flow. Permitted model uses and exclusivity documented per program.

Privacy, PII and de-identification

Homes are private spaces: bystander rights, in-home PII and jurisdiction-specific requirements are reviewed before any collection begins. De-identification options are defined in the capture specification.

Quality, acceptance criteria and known limitations

Two-stage verification against written acceptance criteria: automated integrity checks plus independent adjudication. Task-level acceptance reporting.

Delivery

Secure transfer with versioned manifests, checksums, consent attestation and rejection analysis.

Commercial structure

Commissioned program (buyer-specific). Exclusivity where required, priced as a rights grade.

Evaluation pack

Buyer diligence is productized. A qualified request receives an evaluation pack containing:

  • Representative stratified sample
  • Dataset card
  • Data dictionary and schema
  • Provenance summary
  • Rights and consent summary
  • Privacy and PII assessment
  • Quality and novelty report
  • Known limitations
  • Security and delivery sheet
  • Version and checksum manifest

Samples are never cherry-picked: each pack states whether its sample is representative, illustrative, anonymized, or structurally simulated.
