What Data Robots Need: From Co-Designed Handheld Capture to Fleet-Scale Flywheels
Date:
Invited talk at Extropic’s Boston office, presenting the same material given at the It’s the Demos workshop at RSS 2026.
The talk traces the arc of robot data collection across my work at the RAI Institute and at Data Factory 1 (DF1), Tutor Intelligence’s 100-robot fleet: from co-designed handheld force-based capture for in-the-wild demonstrations to the fleet-scale data flywheels that keep demonstration quality high across a large, internationally distributed operator pool.
