About Hub
Hub operates a distributed network for capturing human activity in real environments. Its collection equipment records egocentric RGB-D video, synchronised inertial data, six-degree-of-freedom visual-inertial pose and hand movement while contributors complete specified tasks. The company then enriches, annotates and quality-checks each session before converting it into formats including MCAP and LeRobot.
Robotics customers specify the task, environment, diversity requirements and output schema; Hub recruits and manages the participants. Hub reports access to more than 150,000 contributors and 730 collection sites across 150 countries. The resulting datasets can support world models, manipulation policies and evaluation by exposing systems to broader homes, workplaces, objects and human techniques than one robot laboratory can reproduce.
