Passive egocentric data for robot learning

Robots need data from the real world.

Robot learning is bottlenecked by expensive teleoperation and scripted data collection. Markov Intelligence turns passively captured first-person human activity into structured signals like tasks, objects, hands, motion, and context that help robots learn from real workflows.

Why passive collection

Scripted tasks do not scale. Real activity does.

Most robot-learning datasets ask people to perform assigned tasks. That creates useful benchmarks, but it does not capture the volume, variation, and long-tail context of what people already do every day.

Markov Intelligence is building toward opted-in egocentric collection from normal routines and work: manipulation-rich activity across homes, workplaces, tools, objects, interruptions, mistakes, and real task transitions.

The hard part is transfer: converting noisy passive video into motion, affordance, intent, and state-change signals that can be grounded with smaller amounts of robot data.

01

Collect

Build opted-in passive collection channels for manipulation-rich activity in real daily and work routines.

02

Structure

Turn noisy first-person streams into task segments, object tracks, hand and wrist motion, narration, and environment state.

03

Ground

Align human egocentric data with robot demonstrations to measure when it improves downstream policies.
