Need physical AI data that was captured where your system actually operates? Aya Data provides managed data collection and annotation for robotics, autonomous systems, wearable and medical AI teams in the UK, US, Europe, the Middle East and Africa – covering egocentric and POV video, robot demonstration data, LiDAR and 3D point cloud, sensor fusion and DICOM medical imaging. Every programme starts with a collection protocol, runs through sequence-level quality review, and ends with data in your model’s required format.
What is Physical AI Data?
Physical AI is AI that perceives and acts in the real world – robots, autonomous vehicles, wearables and surgical systems. It learns from physical data,first-person video of people doing real tasks, LiDAR scans of real streets, clinical scans read by real specialists.
Egocentric data is footage recorded from the actor’s own viewpoint-head, chest – or wrist-mounted cameras-so a model sees what the person or robot sees, including hands and the objects being handled. It is the scarcest data type in robotics, because it cannot be scraped and is difficult to capture ethically. This scarcity is the constraint. A model trained on lab demonstrations breaks in a kitchen, a field or a ward. Physical AI data services close the gap: capture footage that matches deployment, annotate it so identity, action and space stay consistent, and deliver it ready to train.
Organisations that trust us
Physical AI Data Services
Physical AI programmes fail at the data layer – footage that does not match deployment, labels that drift between frames, consent that does not survive legal review. As a managed physical AI data partner, Aya Data covers the whole chain. We agree on a capture specification and annotation taxonomy with your ML team first: environments, camera placement, task scripts, label definitions, and rules for occlusion, hand–object contact and bystanders. Then we collect, annotate and report agreement at sequence level, not as a project average.


Egocentric Data Collection
First-person video captured by head, chest- and wrist-mounted cameras, scripted or unscripted, in the settings your system will operate. We recruit and brief participants, run consent and bystander-privacy protocols, and deliver time-synchronised footage with environment, task, device and participant metadata. Used for robot learning, wearable AI and activity understanding.


Egocentric Video Annotation
Annotation of first-person footage where the camera moves with the wearer: hand and object tracking, action and sub-action segmentation, hand–object interaction, gaze and attention labels, and temporal event tagging. Identity and action boundaries are held across the full sequence despite constant camera motion, motion blur and frequent occlusion by the wearer’s own hands.


Robot Demonstration & Teleoperation Data
Training data for imitation learning and VLA models: human demonstrations from egocentric and fixed views, teleoperation episode annotations, and key training signals – task boundaries, grasp phases, outcomes, and paired natural-language instructions.


LiDAR & 3D Point Cloud Annotation
3D cuboids, point cloud segmentation, object tracking across LiDAR sweeps and camera – LiDAR fusion annotation, for autonomous vehicles, mobile robots, drones and mapping. Annotators work in native point cloud formats, hold instance IDs across frames, and reconcile objects across sensors before delivery.


Hand–Object Interaction & Pose Annotation
Hand keypoints, 3D hand pose, grasp types and object contact states, tracked frame to frame through the self-occlusion that defines first-person video. Skeletal and landmark annotation also covers full-body pose for gait, ergonomics, sports and assistive-technology models, with joint consistency maintained through partial occlusion.


Physical AI Evaluation & Safety Data
Evaluation sets and expert review for real-world systems: edge-case/failure-mode collection, expert-labelled test scenarios, and structured behavioural scoring against ground truth. Test policy generalisation before real-world deployment.


Medical & Surgical Physical AI
Surgical robotics, endoscopy, ultrasound, and AI data: DICOM annotation, phase/instrument tracking, and clinical video labeling by credentialed specialists with regulatory documentation.
How We Measure and Maintain Annotation Quality
Most providers quote a single accuracy figure. That number is almost never defined, and it hides the thing that actually determines whether your model works: whether different annotators labelled the same
Guidelines before annotation
We build the annotation guideline with your ML team before labeling starts, including an explicit edge-case taxonomy. Most quality failures are guideline failures, not annotator failures.
Specialist annotator sourcing
Annotators are recruited and trained by domain and modality −medical imaging, agricultural imagery, automotive scenes −rather than assigned from a general pool.
Tiered review with adjudication
Every batch passes a structured review. Ambiguous cases go to specialist validation. Where annotators disagree, adjudication resolves it rather than averaging it away.
Measured agreement, reported openly
We track Cohen's Kappa for categorical tasks and Dice coefficient for segmentation, reported by annotator and task type −not as a project average.
Industries We Serve
We provide high-quality data annotation services across a range of industries and use cases.
Agriculture
