Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + observable behavior · 2026-09-01

Use case

Robotics teams need to organize multimodal data (sensors, video, text) into datasets for training models.

Teams may use custom scripts or general data tools, but struggle with multimodal and robotics-specific needs.

Data cleaning, labeling, and formatting are time-consuming and error-prone, lacking scalable pipeline tools.
