Home / Data services / Annotation and labeling
Action segmentation, affordance masks, language captions, reward signals — at the bar your model deserves.
Annotation and labeling is the process of adding structured metadata to raw robotics data — action boundaries, affordance masks, natural-language captions, and reward signals — so your model knows what happened, where, and why it mattered.
Labeling robotics data requires domain expertise, not just clicking boxes. Our annotators are trained on manipulation, locomotion, and navigation tasks.
Why outsource labeling?
Your engineers should be iterating on architectures, not drawing masks. We scale annotation teams up and down to match your training cycles.
1,200 labels/hr per trained annotator.
48-hour turnaround on standard batches.
14 modalities supported out of the box.

COCO, CVAT, YOLO, custom JSON, ROS bag with annotation overlays, and RLDS for trajectory data. If you use an internal format, share the schema and we will build a converter.
Our baseline is 99.4% label accuracy across active programs. We achieve this through multi-pass review, consensus labeling on ambiguous frames, and a dedicated QA team that audits every batch before delivery.
Every label goes through automated validation checks, a human review pass, and a final QA audit. Batches that do not meet your agreed accuracy threshold are re-labeled at no additional cost.
Yes. Send us your label taxonomy, class definitions, and any edge-case guidance before the program starts. We build that into operator training and validation tooling.
Ambiguous frames are flagged in the delivery manifest with a confidence score. You choose whether to include them in training, discard them, or send them back for adjudication.

FROM THE FIELD

A policy trained only on successful demonstrations has never seen what going wrong looks like. The first time a grasp slips, an object lands in

Most robots look great in the demo. The trouble starts in the field, where a reflective surface, an unusual object or a half-second sensor dropout

Research teams rarely lack ideas. They lack hours. Every month spent building rigs, calibrating cameras and recruiting operators is a month not spent on the

Hiring a data vendor feels like a procurement decision until the first batch arrives. Then it becomes a modelling problem. The operators your partner employs,

Collecting a real demonstration costs operator hours, hardware time and a scene. Synthetic data augmentation robotics teams now use can multiply what one demonstration is

Every robotics team eventually asks the same question: how much simulation is too much? The honest answer is that there is no universal real and
