Egocentric data collection fuels AI robotics growth in India

Close to 50 people on a factory floor in Ahmedabad are assembling electronic components, shouldering, screwing and finally putting the finished product into a box, wearing a GoPro camera on their foreheads.

The camera records the process, which is then annotated, passed through quality checks, and finally delivered to customers, who can use it to train their robots. This type of data collection is called egocentric, which refers to data collected from a first-person point of view using wearable cameras.
