First-person household tasks for home robotics

Egocentric video of real home and kitchen tasks — the manipulation data home-robotics and assistive-agent teams cite as their biggest bottleneck.

The challenge

Home robots must learn hand-object manipulation in real, messy homes — not a lab set. That first-person footage of chores, cooking and cleaning is the hardest data to source and among the most valuable for physical AI.

Our approach

Creators record first-person household tasks on their own phones to a brief — pouring, chopping, loading a dishwasher, folding laundry, tidying — across diverse real homes, opt-in and licensed, keeping full ownership.

How it ran
  1. 01

    Brief the tasks

    Plain-language briefs and a capture checklist for home tasks.

  2. 02

    Capture first-person

    Creators record natural chores and cooking in real homes.

  3. 03

    Review

    Footage is checked against the checklist before payment.

  4. 04

    License

    Licensed time-boxed and revocable; creators keep ownership.
