A managed operation that converts raw human videos and robot logs into quality-tiered, model-ready manipulation datasets.

Robotics teams possess large collections of human video, camera recordings, sensor streams, and robot trajectories, but these sources cannot be mixed safely without extensive segmentation, synchronization, geometric reconstruction, and quality control. The signals repeatedly call for aligned future frames, actions, depth or pointmaps, object tracks, poses, masks, task boundaries, and confidence scores. Building that data pipeline internally consumes scarce robotics research and data-engineering capacity.
Offer a managed dataset-production service that ingests a buyer's raw videos and robot logs, reconstructs synchronized episodes, generates multiple perceptual labels, and separates outputs into quality tiers appropriate for action supervision or visual forecasting. Begin with a paid dataset-readiness audit and a fixed-volume pilot, then deliver versioned data, provenance records, validation samples, and repeatable processing recipes. Human reviewers handle uncertain task boundaries, contacts, and object identities rather than presenting generated labels as ground truth.
Robot policies increasingly learn from heterogeneous human and robot data while using geometry and future prediction during training, even when those streams are absent at runtime. That shift makes dataset preparation and confidence-aware reuse of imperfect recordings a recurring production workflow rather than a one-off research task.

You will build the ML platform — the APIs, workers, and control planes that let researchers and robot teams move data and models through the system in a self-serve manner, with the testing and observability that being a dependency implies. The platform's Data Curation & Annotation: Turn raw robot and simulation data into training-ready datasets — selection and filtering of manipulation episodes with synchronized sensor streams; annotation workflows that combine automatic labeling with human-in-t
We are building a data management platform that ingests, processes, and serves petabyte-scale multi-modal datasets — including video, sensor telemetry, and structured metadata — captured from instrumented robotic workcell environments. Our platform enables science teams to discover relevant datasets in minutes instead of weeks, transform raw data into training-ready formats, and maintain full data lineage and reproducibility across experiments. You'll work at the intersection of data engineering
