Robotics Training Data
We help robots learn by recording how humans do the work
Robots need millions of examples to learn real-world tasks. Sourcebae sends trained experts into factories, warehouses, hospitals, and homes to record those examples in high quality. Then we hand the recordings to robotics companies so they can train their robots.
Robots can't learn from the internet. Someone has to show them
ChatGPT learned by reading the internet. Image AI learned from billions of photos online. But robots? They need to learn physical tasks - picking things up, opening doors, folding clothes, assembling parts. None of that exists on the internet.
The only way to teach a robot is to record humans doing the task, then feed those recordings to the robot's AI. The problem is: recording this data is slow, expensive, and most companies do it badly. That's the gap we fill.
Three reasons robotics companies choose us
We have the people
We've built a network of 300,000+ trained experts across India and globally. Need 200 nurses to record hospital tasks? We can start next week. Need 50 certified mechanics? We have them ready. Most competitors rely on gig workers; we use real professionals.
We use the right equipment
Every robot is different. Some have two-finger grippers, some have full human-like hands, some walk on wheels. We match our recording setup to the exact robot you're building - so the data we capture actually fits your robot, not a generic one.
We show the mistakes too
Most vendors only record perfect tries. But robots need to see failures too - dropped items, wrong grips, recovery attempts - to learn how to handle real life. We record and label these moments so your robot learns what to do when things go wrong.
We record everything a robot needs to see, feel, and hear
Video: Multiple high-quality cameras recording from different angles at the same time, in 4K resolution.
Movement: Small sensors on the hands, arms, and body that track exactly how the expert is moving.
Touch & pressure: Sensors that measure how hard the expert is gripping or pushing - important for delicate tasks.
Eyes: Eye-tracking glasses that record where the expert looks. Often, what someone looks is more important than what they do with their hands.
Voice: The expert narrates what they're doing, in any of 22 languages. This helps robots understand instructions.
Labels & notes: Every recording comes with notes - who did it, what conditions they worked in, what went well, what went wrong.
Four steps to get your robotics data
STEP 1 - TALK
Your team and ours meet to discuss what tasks you want recorded, what robot you're building, how much data you need, and the budget. You get a clear plan and timeline.
STEP 2 - SET UP
We bring the cameras, sensors, and equipment. We train our experts on your specific task. We set up in your location or ours - without disturbing your normal operations.
STEP 3 - RECORD
Our experts do the task while being recorded. Every recording is checked by a second expert to make sure the quality is high. If something isn't right, we record it again.
STEP 4 - DELIVER
We organize the recordings, label them properly, and send them to your team in the format you want. Full documentation included.
From factories to hospitals to your living room
Factories & assembly lines
Experts record assembling parts, operating machines, inspecting quality, fixing equipment. Useful for companies building robots for manufacturing.
Warehouses & delivery
Recording how workers pack boxes, stack pallets, handle damaged items, load trucks. Useful for warehouse robots and delivery robots.
Hospitals & pharmacies
Nurses, pharmacists, and technicians record medical tasks - always following strict privacy and consent rules. Useful for healthcare robots.
Homes & caregiving
Cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, helping elderly family members. Useful for home robots and caregiver robots.
Delivery & field work
Recording delivery drivers, utility workers, repair technicians doing their jobs in the real world. Useful for outdoor and mobile robots
Detailed hand tasks
Close-up recordings of hand movements - tying knots, threading cables, folding cloth, using tools. Useful for robots that need fine control.
Delivering results that matter

Quality Assurance Pass Rate
The result? Production-ready robotics training datasets
Tailored to your enterprise workflows, structured for immediate use, and owned entirely by you - a compounding data asset that grows in value as your automation matures.
Robots worked 34% better
One robotics lab replaced 20% of their old training data with ours (including our failure recordings). Their robot's success rate jumped by 34%.
Training was 2.3x faster
Another lab trained a humanoid robot on our data with narration. Their robot learned the task more than twice as fast as before.
Robot worked better in real life
A third lab saw 61% fewer problems when moving their robot from simulation to the real world - because our recording equipment matched their robot's exact design.
Three simple ways to start
Pilot project
2-6 weeks - small budget - clear outcome. Perfect if you want to test us first. We record 500-5,000 examples for one specific task. You see the quality before committing.
Ongoing partnership
3-10 months - dedicated team - weekly deliveries. A team of our experts works only on your project for months. Recordings arrive every week. Regular review meetings with your team.
Shared research
Co-founded - academic-friendly - open datasets for universities and open-source projects. We share the cost. The data gets released publicly. Good for research partnerships.
We take security seriously
Data security
We follow international security standards (ISO 27001). Your data can be delivered to your own servers if you prefer.
Privacy
All our recordings follow global privacy laws (GDPR, India's DPDP). Every person we record signs a consent form. Faces and personal details can be blurred on request.
Medical ethics
For hospital and caregiving recordings, we follow the same ethics rules as medical research. Every subject knows what's happening and can withdraw at any time.
Ownership
You own the data. Clear contracts. No hidden licensing terms. We track exactly where every recording came from.
Frequently asked questions
Most pilot engagements begin within 72 hours of scoping alignment. They have an active contributor pool that can be mobilized rapidly, and Saira handles screening and onboarding in parallel with SOW finalization.
Tell us the task. We'll deliver 100 sample recordings in 14 days.
Book a free call with our robotics team (not a salesperson). Tell us what you're building. We'll send back a plan, a price, and a small sample so you can see the quality yourself.
