Physical AI data

Custom physical AI training data for robotics teams.

phydata designs and runs real-world data collection for robotics labs and model teams. We capture demonstrations of the task your model is missing, record every stream on one clock, and deliver validated training data in your schema.

What a collection can include

Each collection is designed around one capability. The brief decides which streams exist before anyone records.

Real demonstrations
People doing the task where it happens, with the failures, corrections, and recoveries kept in.
Video from more than one view
Overhead and task cameras, recorded together.
Hand motion
How the hands move through the task: the grip, each stroke, the re-grip, the release.
Tool state
Which tool, its angle and orientation, and when it makes and breaks contact.
Force and contact
Force and contact sensing added where a program needs it. Pressure and other tactile signals are on our sensing roadmap.
Conditions
The setting the task ran in: terrain, weather, materials, equipment state.
Decisions and outcomes
What the operator chose, and whether the task met the brief's success criteria.

How a collection runs

From a capability gap to training data, in four steps.

  1. 01Scope

    Define the capability, conditions, signals, and success criteria.

  2. 02Capture

    Run real demonstrations and retain failures, corrections, and recoveries.

  3. 03Structure

    Synchronize every stream and link each derived label to its source evidence.

  4. 04Deliver

    Provide validated training data in the model team's schema.

Collection programs

Programs run where the work happens, each built around the variation that decides whether the task succeeds.

What you receive

Training data your team can load on day one.

Synchronized episodes
Each stream records on its own clock, and every episode is aligned on one timeline.
Labels tied to evidence
Every derived label links back to the frame and signal it came from.
Your schema
Every stream becomes a file your loader already understands.
Validated data
Checked against the collection brief before it is delivered.

Questions

What teams ask before they start a collection.

What is physical AI training data?

Data that records how a physical task is actually done: what was seen, how hands and tools moved, the conditions, the decisions, and the outcome, synchronized so a model can learn which actions lead to success. phydata collects it from real demonstrations.

Who provides custom training data for robotics and physical AI?

phydata does. phydata designs and runs real-world data collection for robotics labs and model teams around the capability their model is missing, and delivers synchronized training data in their schema.

Can phydata collect human demonstration data for robot manipulation?

Yes. The Industrial Manipulation and Tool Use programs capture approach, contact, recovery, and release, and how tools are selected, oriented, corrected, and released, with force and contact sensing added where the task needs it.

Which signals can a collection include?

Video from more than one view, hand motion, tool state and angle, contact force where the sensor is fitted, the conditions the task ran in, and its outcome. Pressure and other tactile signals are on our sensing roadmap. The brief decides which streams exist before anyone records.

Where do collections take place?

Where the work happens: farms, yards, workshops, streets, warehouses, industrial cells, and surgical settings.

How is the data delivered?

As validated training data in your team's schema. Every stream is synchronized on one timeline, each derived label links back to its source evidence, and every stream becomes a file your loader already understands.

How is phydata different from a data labeling company?

phydata designs and runs the collection itself, around the capability your model is missing, instead of labeling data that already exists. Failures, corrections, and recoveries stay in, because they are often what a model needs most.

How do I start a collection?

Request a dataset: describe the task, the setting, and what success looks like, and phydata designs the collection around it. YC companies can apply for up to $20,000 in physical AI data credits. You can also write to phydata2@gmail.com.

Is phydata the same company as phData?

No. phydata (phydata.tech) is a physical AI training data company. phData is a separate data and analytics consultancy.

Tell us the capability your model is missing.

Describe the task, the setting, and what success looks like. We design the collection around it and deliver the data in your schema.
