U.S.-based · Verified real-world data infrastructure

Building the data foundation for Physical AI.

Custom, U.S.-verified data collection for robotics and embodied AI — reaching the environments open datasets and offshore vendors can't, with the consent documentation and chain-of-custody enterprise buyers require.

FIELD: what_we_collect

Where open datasets and offshore vendors can't reach.

Free, large-scale egocentric datasets now cover generic household and factory footage. We focus where access, credentialing, and compliance are the bottleneck — not the camera.

VERTICAL / household · pilot tier

Household & Residential

  • Laundry, kitchen, organization tasks
  • Used to validate capture & QC pipeline
  • Entry point, not the end goal
VERTICAL / skilled trades · premium

Skilled Trades

  • Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, carpentry
  • Certified-professional contributors
  • High access barrier — hard to replicate
VERTICAL / light industrial

Light Industrial & Warehouse

  • Kitting, sorting, packaging, labeling
  • Collected via facility partnerships
  • Bimanual, high-volume manipulation
VERTICAL / healthcare · controlled

Healthcare & Caregiving

  • Mobility assist, med organizing (mock setups)
  • No live clinical sites — controlled environments only
  • Strict consent & compliance protocols

We start with household collection to prove out our pipeline, then move into trades, industrial, and controlled healthcare environments — where access and compliance, not just cameras, are the real differentiator.

FIELD: sample_pack

See the data before you commission it.

Every sample ships the same way a full campaign does — raw footage, specs, QC, and metadata — so you know exactly what you're buying before you order more.

Standardized. Consistent. Built for training.

You get consistent, labeled, ML-ready footage — not a folder of raw phone videos.

FIELD: process

You define the task. We execute the collection.

Tell us what you need — e.g. "250 hours of people folding laundry" — and we take it from there.

01

You define

Task, volume, and any custom requirements for the campaign.

02

We collect

Contributors are recruited and assigned; footage is captured and QC'd.

03

We deliver

Structured dataset with metadata. You pay only for accepted hours.

FIELD: why_groundwork

Infrastructure, not hype.

/ 01

Access, not just cameras

We reach environments — trade sites, industrial floors, controlled care settings — that open datasets and gig networks can't easily get into.

/ 02

Verified U.S. provenance

Full consent documentation and chain-of-custody for teams whose legal or compliance requirements rule out open or offshore data.

/ 03

Collection as a service

You define the task. Groundwork executes the collection — from a single pilot to an ongoing retainer.

/ 04

Built to scale

From small pilot studies to enterprise collection campaigns.
