FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Robot Data Supply?
Robot Data Supply is a seller of real-world training data for robotics and AI. We record egocentric (first-person) video of skilled people doing manual work, and we license original drone footage, camera footage and a professional photo archive with full metadata. All assets are original and owned outright, with signed releases.
What is egocentric video data and why do robots need it?
Egocentric video is recorded from a camera worn on a person's head, so it shows the task exactly as the worker sees it: hands, tools, objects and the order of actions. Robotics teams use it to pre-train manipulation and imitation-learning models, build vision-language-action (VLA) models, and teach humanoid robots how real tasks are performed.
How is egocentric data sold — by the hour?
Yes. Egocentric task video is sold by recorded hours of the same task: for example 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 hours of woodworking or kitchen work. Larger volumes and custom tasks are recorded to order.
Can you record a specific task for us?
Yes. Tell us the trade, environment, task protocol and the number of hours you need. We recruit skilled workers, equip them with head-mounted cameras, record to your specification and deliver with session metadata.
Do you own the rights to the footage and photos?
Yes. Every video and photo was shot by us or commissioned by us. We hold full rights and signed releases from every participant, and each order is licensed for AI/ML training and commercial use. See the Licensing page for details.
How do I buy data?
Add the datasets and volumes you need to a request and send it with your contact details. We reply within one business day with availability, a quote and license terms. After payment we deliver the files through a private cloud download link.
Which payment methods do you accept?
International bank transfer and Payoneer are accepted. Other methods can be arranged on request. We confirm the method with you before invoicing.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Yes. Tick “I'd like a sample” in the request form and we will send preview clips or images so you can check quality and format before you buy.
How is the data delivered?
Files are delivered through a private, time-limited cloud download link. Large orders can also be delivered on a physical drive. Data is shipped in its original quality with a metadata manifest.
Is the data exclusive?
Standard orders are non-exclusive. Exclusive licenses and custom recordings that are never resold are available — ask in your request.
What is the minimum order for egocentric video?
You can request as little as 1 hour of a task to evaluate quality. Larger packs of 10, 20, 50 hours and more are available or recorded to order.
Can I choose the task and environment?
Yes. Choose from the trades listed here or describe your own task protocol, and we record it with skilled workers in real environments.
Is the egocentric data licensed for training robots?
Yes. All recordings come with signed participant releases and a license that covers AI/ML training and commercial use.
Who shot the drone footage?
All aerial footage was shot by our own team. We hold full rights to every clip.
Can I license drone footage for AI training?
Yes. Every clip is licensed for AI/ML training and commercial use.
Does the footage include people?
Some collections include people in public spaces. Release coverage is stated for each collection; ask us for details for your use case.
What metadata comes with each image?
Each image comes with a caption, keywords and technical EXIF data, delivered as a CSV or JSON manifest.
Can I buy a subset by theme?
Yes. Choose themes and quantities, or describe what you need and we will assemble a custom selection.
