Hub

Capturing Physical Experience for Embodied AI

Visit Hub

Hub is a real-world data collection platform for training world models and embodied AI. It gathers egocentric data in commercial and residential environments, offering both ready-made datasets and bespoke collection services for frontier AI labs and robotics companies. The platform manages the full pipeline from capture through enrichment, annotation and quality assurance, with delivery in formats such as MCAP and LeRobot.

Its dataset categories include egocentric RGB-D video with calibrated stereo, metric depth, IMU, 6-DoF VIO and 3D hand pose; teleoperation robot trajectories with synchronized joint states, end-effector poses, gripper commands and multi-view camera streams; hand tracking with 21-keypoint pose, MANO parameters and 6-DoF wrist motion; and tactile data from instrumented gloves and sensorized grippers, including contact pressure, shear and slip signals. Custom collection projects are matched to commercial environments and contributors, with diversity caps enforced and frame-level QA before full delivery.

Hub serves AI labs and robotics companies seeking training data, as well as small and medium businesses that can contribute capture work. The network includes verified commercial sites across industries such as farms, warehouses, construction, restaurants, auto repair, hotels and workshops. Contributors can apply to join the network, with partner SLAs and revenue share arrangements mentioned.
