About Human Archive
Human Archive builds multimodal datasets for embodied-AI and robotics research. It designs and calibrates custom collection rigs, gloves and wrist cameras, capturing RGB, depth, audio, tactile, motion-capture and robot data from people performing long-horizon activities.
More than 100 full-time staff coordinate contributions from over 100,000 participants and 500 industry partners across 30 countries. Collection environments include homes, hotels, restaurants, farms, factories, construction sites and shops. The company develops three-dimensional perception, SLAM, hand-pose and annotation models around the hardware, and uses the resulting datasets to train robot policies for manipulation and human activity understanding.
