The skill infrastructure for physical AI.
We connect robotics teams with skilled professionals to capture how real work gets done. From expert recruitment to task-specific demonstrations, we build collection around what your robots need to learn.
Starting with electrical work. Expanding across skilled trades.
Tell us what your robot needs to learn.
We work with your team to define a task, recruit people who do that work every day, and organise demonstrations to a capture specification we agree together.
Skilled professionals
Access to people with practical trade experience, recruited for the task you need taught.
Expert demonstrations
Task execution, tool handling, the decisions behind each step, quality checks, and what an expert does to recover when something goes wrong.
Custom collection
Capture setup, annotations and delivery format agreed with you before collection starts.
How a pilot works
Every engagement starts as a pilot on one task, so your team can judge the work before committing to more.
Define the task
We agree on the task, capture requirements, deliverables and acceptance criteria with your team.
Collect with experts
We recruit suitable professionals and organise demonstrations to the agreed specification.
Evaluate and refine
Your team evaluates the pilot, and we refine collection before expanding.
We provide expert recruitment, demonstrations and data collection. Model training and deployment stay with your team.
Starting with electrical work
Electrical work is where we are starting. These are tasks we can scope with you for a first pilot.
Cable routing and management
Running, bending, bundling and securing cable through a real installation.
Connector assembly
Preparing conductors, seating pins and assembling connectors to a finished standard.
Tool handling
How each tool is picked up, positioned, adjusted and used through a task.
These are potential pilot tasks to discuss, not completed datasets. Plumbing, HVAC, carpentry and other trades are planned expansion, and we are happy to talk about them.
Capture options agreed for each pilot
What gets captured is set with your team before collection begins. These are options to discuss rather than a fixed package, and we confirm what is practical for your task and site.
- Video of the task from angles agreed with your team
- The task broken into steps, with the reasoning behind each one
- Tool handling and how each tool is used
- Quality checks, and how an expert recovers from a mistake
- Annotations and delivery format written into the pilot specification

We are preparing a sample that shows a demonstration alongside its capture specification, annotations and deliverable structure.
Sample in preparation
Tell us what you need to see
Let us know the task and the format your team works in, and we will send the sample across when it is ready.

The skills worth teaching a machine already live in the hands of people who do the work. Our job is to get you to those people.
For tradespeople
Teach a robot your trade and get paid $100 to $150 per hour. Keep your day job. No robotics experience needed.
