Robots learn to open doors from data like this
Your work email is the key. Robots have to do it the hard way.
Behind the door: our full capabilities and the sample request form. Episodes land in your inbox within a business day; a human may follow up - one email, not a drip campaign.
Data Collection Services
Physical AI Data Services
Human demonstration and teleoperation data for robot learning - collected across real US homes and our Los Angeles facility, delivered post-QA in your training format. For robotics teams and research labs, from a first sample pack to fleet-scale programs.
Proven at fleet scale
We deployed and fleet-managed the ~2,000-headset capture fleet behind one of the largest home robot-learning programs run to date - 10M+ episodes collected across real US homes. Kitting, logistics, remote fleet management, QA. The same operation now runs your program.
What we can collect
Egocentric
Head-worn camera + optional wrist cams. Real tasks, real homes.
UMI / wearable glove
Ego video + hand-worn capture: wrist pose, finger tracking.
Dexterous hand
Station gloves, externally-tracked ground truth, full articulation.
Robot teleop
Operators driving arms + dexterous hands. Embodiment + force.

Collectors across our distributed network at full build-out
No-hardware deployment - activate existing VR owners
For egocentric collection we can activate existing VR headset owners - no hardware shipment, onboarding is software-only. ~500 collectors in month one, ~1,000 by month three, drawing on our decade of VR community reach. BYO collectors can be upgraded to glove-mode with a single small shipment (glove only, no headset). All quoted hours are post-QA delivered hours.
Program details
| Bespoke hours | Yes - immediate for distributed modes; dexterous-hand and teleop at pilot scale, expanding with LA facility (Q4 2026). Custom rigs, “your hand / glove / arm on our operators,” delivery in HDF5, RLDS/LeRobot, or buyer spec. |
| Collector network | 40–120 kit-based collectors (ramping) plus ~500 BYO-headset egocentric collectors ready to activate |
| Environments | Real homes nationwide - kitchen, laundry, living, bedroom, garage. Staged kitchen / bedroom / warehouse sets in LA. Office and light-industrial on request. |
| Tasks | Random and scripted object manipulation, pick-and-place, articulated objects, folding and deformables, tool use, bimanual, household routines, long-horizon chores. |
| Notes | We source and build capture hardware at distributor pricing (MANUS, SenseGlove, Xsens, dexterous hands, collaborative arms). We package, QA, and ship kits to end users across the US and fleet-manage remotely. Already buying gloves, suits, or arms from us? We can run collection, validation, or a managed program on the same hardware - one team for both. |
How a program starts
Samples
Request below. Sample episodes and schema docs arrive within one business day, in the format your program would receive.
Pilot
A scoped task set on the modes you pick. You evaluate real delivered episodes against your training stack before committing.
Scale
Ramp per the schedule above - kits in homes, facility seats, or both - with recurring post-QA delivery.
Request sample data
Pick the capture modes you want to evaluate and we’ll send matching sample episodes - post-QA delivered data from the same pipeline your program would run on, in HDF5 and LeRobot format with schema docs.
Request received. We’ll send your sample episodes and schema docs within one business day. Want to talk scope in the meantime? hello@knoxlabs.com
