About Vision Lab
Vision Lab collects complementary views of industrial work: first-person footage captures how a worker manipulates tools and objects, while external cameras show the wider process and working environment. This combination supports datasets that connect individual actions with the factory context in which they occur. Collection covers operating production environments across Asia and Africa, with expansion into Latin America underway in June 2026.
Its annotation work combines vision-language models with human review, including action labels, hand-pose extraction and checks by domain experts or engineers. Projects can focus on individual movements or the steps of a standard operating procedure. The resulting data is intended for robotics models learning manipulation from human activity, while Vision Lab manages capture, structuring and annotation for the model developer.
