The refinery for physical action data
Raw human motion in. Training-ready action data out.
ActiScale is a two-sided marketplace that turns egocentric video from a global collector community into rights-cleared, VLA-ready human demonstration data for robotics labs, refined in six pipeline steps and delivered as LeRobot, RLDS or MP4 + JSON from $8/hr.
A global collector community supplies the raw. An automated pipeline refines it — filtered, segmented, pose- and action-labeled, QC'd, rights-cleared. You get hours your model can train on from day one, not footage you have to clean.
ActiScale at a glance
- ✓Product: egocentric human demonstration data, refined, QC'd and rights-cleared; first packaged release of 5,000 hours.
- ✓Price: $8–90 per hour across three tiers, versus $50K–$200K for a single production teleoperation dataset.
- ✓Formats: LeRobot, RLDS, or raw MP4 with a JSON metadata sidecar.
- ✓Collectors: record everyday tasks with a phone and harness and are paid per accepted hour.
Why now
Why is demonstration data scarce?
Every serious embodied-AI team needs large, diverse, real-world demonstration data — and there is almost none they can simply buy and license. That gap is why ActiScale exists.

See the data
What does one hour of demonstration data look like?
Real egocentric captures, refined into per-hand mesh, narration and action labels — the structure a model can train on.
Raw egocentric capture
Wide-FOV head-mounted video exactly as recorded — the raw input, before any refinement.
Hand mesh & narration
Per-hand mesh (blue = right, orange = left) tracked on the video, with natural-language narration and action labels.
Tool use & action labels
The same refinement on tool-use tasks across a whole room — hand mesh, narration and per-clip action labels.
53 real clips across two capture rigs and 12 task families. Scrub the timeline and watch every annotation layer line up — and see which layer each tier buys you.
The refinement pipeline
How does raw footage become training-ready data?
Almost none can turn what they film into something a model can train on. That refinement is the product — and it is where the cost per delivered hour falls as we scale.
Ingest
Video + sensor streams land with provenance and consent attached.
Filter
Blur, drift, wrong-task and duplicate footage is rejected automatically.
Segment
Continuous footage is cut into discrete, task-aligned clips.
Pose & contact
Hand and body keypoints, object contact events, extracted per frame.
Narrate & label
Natural-language narration and action labels applied to each clip.
QC & package
Tiered peer review, then packaged to LeRobot / RLDS and shipped.
How it works
How does the ActiScale marketplace work?
Collectors
Phone + harness + app. Paid per accepted hour.
QC reviewers
Tiered review marketplace. Paid per validated task.
Automated pipeline + settlement
Ingest, refine and QC at scale — then pay the community, automatically.
AI & robotics labs
Frontier model teams and humanoid-robotics companies.
They pay
Per dataset, per custom order, or by subscription.
Marketplace, not services
We refine and sell hours — not resell labor by the hour.
Automation is the leverage
Agentic AI does more of the filtering, cutting, labeling and QC over time.
Quality-gated
Only work that passes QC is paid — and only work that passes is shipped.
What you get
What are the four ways to get the data?
Catalog datasets
Off-the-shelf, rights-cleared sets by activity domain. Sample first, then license by the hour.
Custom collection
You specify tasks, environments and rejection criteria. We commission the community and deliver to spec — 100 to 5,000 hours.
Continuous data feed
A subscription stream of fresh, QC'd data that keeps your pretraining corpus growing.
Licensing & API
Enrichment layers, exclusivity windows, and programmatic access.
Quality engine
Quality that scales without a management layer.
An automated gate plus a tiered peer-review marketplace. Only work that passes is paid — and only work that passes is shipped.
