Commercial operations / Physical AI

Real-world data for Physical AI.

We work with commercial partners and their frontline teams to capture first-person video of real work.

01What we capture

Real work, from the worker’s view.

First-person (or egocentric) video records how frontline workers handle objects, use tools, and complete physical tasks. Environment video adds the wider context.

  1. ( 01 ) / Real conditions

    Physical models need examples of human manipulation in real conditions.

  2. ( 02 ) / Coordinated capture

    We organize collection across teams and facilities.

  3. ( 03 ) / Model-ready footage

    Then prepare the footage for model development.

02Commercial

Commercial video capture. Built to scale.

Scaling collection takes more than cameras. It takes facility access, worker consent, consistent capture, and footage that meets the buyer’s specification.

  1. ( 01 )

    Video collection

    Egocentric and environment video of frontline work, focused on the tasks, interactions, and conditions a model needs to learn.

  2. ( 02 )

    Field operations

    Facility coordination, frontline worker onboarding, equipment, and training. Capture protocols that teams can follow across locations.

  3. ( 03 )

    Annotation & enrichment

    Task labels, contextual metadata, and temporal segmentation that turn footage into structured training data.

  4. ( 04 )

    Quality assurance

    Review recordings for task coverage and capture quality. Validate and deliver datasets against the agreed specification.

03Industries

Hundreds of industries.

Wherever frontline teams do hands-on work, there are tasks worth understanding. These environments show the range of work a collection program can focus on.

04Our approach

Collection that works for your operation.

Your business has schedules to keep, safety standards to meet, and people to look after. We work through those constraints with you before planning collection across your workforce and facilities.

  1. 01 / Find the fit

    Find the fit

    Map your workflows and workforce to the data requirements. Identify tasks that are useful to capture and practical for your operation.

  2. 02 / Agree the terms

    Agree the terms

    Work through facility access, worker consent, safety, data rights, and commercial terms. Define responsibilities before collection starts.

  3. 03 / Set up capture

    Set up capture

    Coordinate equipment, train participating frontline teams, and plan recording around the way your facilities run.

  4. 04 / Build from there

    Build from there

    Review capture quality and operational impact together. Use what we learn to plan collection across more teams and locations.

Compliance / Provenance

Protocols include strict worker consent, facility clearance, PII/face redaction pipelines, and clean IP transfer.

05Commercial partners

Your workforce’s expertise has value.

We pay you for your team to do the things they're already doing.

You bring the facilities, frontline teams, and knowledge of how the work gets done. We bring collection operations and the specifications that make the footage useful for physical AI development.

We work with you to define suitable tasks, worker participation, and commercial terms before capture begins.
