Define
Translate the model objective into a clear task, data specification, and acceptance criteria.
Custom real-world
training data for
physical AI.
We turn real human work into structured, customer-specified training data for robots.

01 Our principle
Built around your model.
Not an off-the-shelf dataset.
Norda is a custom robotics training data company for physical AI and embodied AI teams. Every program starts with the buyer’s model and what it needs to learn. Together, we define the task, environment, capture modalities, annotation schema, and acceptance criteria—from real-world human demonstrations to validated delivery. Each program is built to specification, not drawn from a pre-existing dataset, fixed sector, or sensor stack.
Buyer-definedProtocol-controlledScale after acceptance
02 Robotics training data collection
One disciplined pipeline.
Source
Recruit the right contributors and secure the environments the task requires.
Capture
Execute the agreed protocol with a capture setup configured for the task.
Annotate
Segment and label demonstrations according to the agreed annotation schema.
Validate + deliver
Data integrity and quality checks, delivering only data that meets acceptance criteria.
Private access / Raw footage
Review our collection quality.
Request a private selection of 24 egocentric clips from residential and commercial environments.
Raw footage only. No metadata or annotations.
Request sample footage
Samples are shared privately following review of your request.
03 Multimodal robotics data
Only the modalities
that earn their place.
The capture stack follows the learning objective. We add equipment only when its signal justifies the cost and complexity.
Visual + audio
Egocentric video, fixed and multi-view RGB, depth, and audio streams as required.
Motion + interaction
Pose, IMU, trajectories, force, or tactile signals where useful.
Task + outcome context
Objects, conditions, environment, operator context, and outcomes.
Temporal annotation
Task phases, event boundaries, action sequences, errors, and recoveries.

04 Real-world data collection
Capture where
the work happens.
We pilot before scaling, coordinate contributors and sites, and configure the capture setup for each task. Managing the workflow end to end enables continuous quality control and targeted recollection when needed.
05 Robotics data quality
Quality is engineered
end to end.
Protocol
Task, procedure, outputs, and acceptance criteria agreed before scaling.
Capture system
Task-specific equipment, calibrated where needed and time-aligned to the required outputs.
Field control
Operator training, setup checks, sample review, and rapid corrective loops.
Annotation
Buyer-defined annotation schemas applied to actions, objects, transitions, errors, and outcomes.
Validation
Automated checks and human review verify each delivery against the agreed acceptance criteria.
Rights + security
Participant consent, data licensing, retention, transfer, and access controls defined for each program.
06 Operating experience
Real production experience.
Applied to buyer-defined programs.
Norda draws on an operating network with experience running recurring real-world data collection at scale. This experience supports new programs designed from the ground up around each customer’s model, task, environment, and acceptance criteria.

68,000+
Potential employee reach worldwide
Site access + data rights
Norda secures site-access permissions and data rights with large, often multinational companies. Across our current network, these relationships create potential reach into workforces totaling more than 68,000 employees worldwide.
Recorded volume matters only when the resulting data is relevant, structured, quality-checked, and delivered against the buyer’s specification.
// Capture versatility
The requirement defines
the capture stack.
From lightweight mobile kits to professional visual, audio, and motion-capture systems, Norda selects and configures equipment around the task, environment, required signals, fidelity, synchronization, and program economics.
