Physical Intelligence

Embodied data, collected by people who do the task.

Egocentric video, depth, teleoperation and handheld-gripper demonstrations — recruited, consented and QA-reported on the same bench that has shipped four thousand hours of speech. The people on camera are doing work they actually do.

Capture capacity per day, all modalities

Physical-AI capture runs on the bench that has shipped 4,000+ hours of speech: the same recruiting to a locale, consent on every file, a calibration gate before paid work and a QA report on every batch. Crews record in real homes, shops, workshops, farms and light-industrial sites across nine locales, on rigs we supply or yours, and the bench grows with every program. A written spec and quote come back within 48 hours, a sample episode within five working days, and a pilot of ten to thirty episodes ships in two weeks.

The bench grows with every program: recruiting is open in all nine locales, operator crews are added per environment class as programs come in, and the fixed-term core expands with each quarter's volume.

Environments

Rooms where the task actually happens.

Tasks are recorded where they actually happen — not in a studio dressed to look like a kitchen. Hover a room to see the kind of setting the protocol calls for.

Kitchens

Indian, European and Brazilian home kitchens, lived-in and cluttered, plus small commercial kitchens and pantries.

Cooking preparationWashing upCupboards and drawersAppliancesPouring and scooping

Living rooms and bedrooms

Real Western homes in Spain, Germany, France and Italy, and apartments in India, Brazil, Japan and Korea. Sofas, wardrobes, shelves, laundry.

Offices

Open-plan and small offices: desks, pantries, meeting rooms, filing and cable clutter.

Retail and small shops

Kirana stores, groceries, pharmacies and supermarket aisles, with real stock and real customers out of focus.

Warehouses and light industrial

Racking aisles, packing benches, courier depots and small production lines with pallets, trolleys and parts bins.

How a pilot runs

Ten to thirty episodes, then the volume.

A written brief, a tested crew, a pilot you review, and a weekly cadence after that — with the same report attached to every batch.

  1. 01day 0
    Brief

    The task family, the environments, the rig, the sensors, the episode count. One page, agreed before anything is bought or anyone is recruited.

  2. 02week 1
    SOP and kit

    A written capture protocol — framing, lighting, where a task starts and ends, what counts as a failed take — and the kit list. Operators are trained and tested on it before a single episode is paid for.

  3. 03week 2
    Pilot episodes

    A small batch, ten to thirty episodes, delivered with QC status and a quality report. This is where the protocol breaks — on purpose, and cheaply.

  4. 04ongoing
    Review and scale

    You review the pilot, we fix the protocol, then the run scales on a weekly delivery cadence with the same report attached to every batch.

Before an episode counts

What QC checks, every time.

Ten checks with thresholds written into the protocol. An episode that fails one is re-shot or rejected, and either way it is not billed.

  • Framing

    The task stays in frame; hands and workspace inside the protocol's bounds for the whole episode.

  • Exposure and focus

    No blown highlights or focus hunting beyond the tolerance set for the room.

  • Motion

    No camera whip, no dropped frames; IMU continuous where the rig has one.

  • Sync

    Every stream aligned within one frame; timestamps monotonic across cameras, state and action logs.

  • Task compliance

    Start and end states match the SOP; no skipped or reordered steps unless the protocol allows it.

  • Duration

    Inside the episode window for the task family; overruns are trimmed to the protocol, not the clip.

  • Metadata

    Environment, task, rig, operator id, session and consent reference present and valid on every episode.

  • Privacy

    No bystander faces, screens or documents without consent; blurred where the protocol flags it.

  • Calibration

    Intrinsics and extrinsics on file per rig and session for depth, stereo and multi-camera capture.

  • Labels

    Where annotation is ordered, agreement against the gold set above the threshold before the batch ships.

Tell us the task, the room and the rig.

One page is enough. A written spec and quote come back within 48 hours, a sample within five working days, and the pilot ships in two weeks.
