Custom Data Collection for Robotics and Physical AI
Custom capture programs for your robot, sensors, and environments. From pilot to production handoff.
Warehouse, humanoid, manipulation, and AV teams

Built for the field. Not a catalog.
Operant is a capture partner for robotics and physical AI teams. We scope programs around your deployment context: contact-rich manipulation, synchronized multi-camera rigs, and tail behaviors your eval can trust. Never a one-size-fits-all download.
How we work
01
Scope
Discovery call to align on environments, sensors, behaviors, volume, and acceptance criteria.
02
Pilot
Short pilot capture to validate calibration, labeling, and pipeline integration before scale.
03
Scale
Production collection with QA checkpoints, diversity targets, and edge-case coverage.
04
Handoff
Deliverables in your formats with documentation, provenance, and optional ongoing collection.
What teams get wrong about robotics data
- 01
Strategy that matches your stack
You know custom data matters. We align capture to your robot, sensors, and eval goals, not generic catalog downloads.
- 02
Pilot before you scale
Validate calibration, labeling, and pipeline fit in weeks before committing to full production volume.
- 03
Documented provenance
Every engagement ships with QA reports, sync characterization, and metadata your ML team can audit.
- 04
Integrated deliverables
Logs and labels in formats your training stack expects. No rip-and-replace of existing tooling.
Frequently asked questions
Open datasets rarely match your robot, sensor suite, or deployment environment. Operant designs capture around your stack and evaluation goals, behaviors, failure modes, and calibration you specify, not a fixed catalog download.
Yes. Engagements are structured so your organization owns the captured data and associated rights, with clear terms documented during scoping.
Common setups include RGB-D arrays, LiDAR, IMU, force/torque, and proprioceptive streams in warehouses, homes, labs, and light industrial sites. We align on your hardware list during the discovery call.
Pilots often run 2–4 weeks; production programs scale over months depending on diversity targets and geographies. Timelines are fixed in the statement of work after scoping.
We review your robot stack, target behaviors, sensor requirements, volume, and quality bar, then outline a pilot path and commercial framework. No obligation to proceed.
We follow your policies and applicable regulations, with consent workflows for identifiable spaces, data minimization options, and secure transfer agreed before capture starts.
Time-synchronized sensor logs, calibration files, episode metadata, and optional labels, exported in formats your training pipeline expects, with documentation and provenance.
Robotics and physical AI teams with defined model or product milestones who need real-world data they can audit and reproduce, not teams looking for a generic bulk download.
Yes. We explicitly scope tail behaviors, near-misses, and recovery sequences so evaluation sets reflect operational risk, not only happy-path demos.
Teleoperation and demonstration capture are core capabilities, including multi-camera sync and metadata for imitation or RL fine-tuning pipelines.
