Physical AI Data Collection for Robots
Physical AI Data Collection for Robots
📅 Date: August 27, 2026 ⏰ Time: 4:00 – 6:00 PM 📍 Venue: Frontier Tower 🏢 Host: Infodriver Capital
The race to build general-purpose robots is bottlenecked by one scarce resource: real-world data. While billions flow into Physical AI, the easiest data (warehouse pick-and-pack, tabletop tasks) is commoditizing fast - but the data that matters most remains out of reach.
Join us for an exclusive deep dive with three startups redefining how the industry sources the high-signal, rights-cleared data that robot brains actually need to learn.
Speakers:
🔹 SHMEL – The human-skill data engine for the world's most dangerous jobs. SHMEL captures egocentric demonstrations from skilled welders and other high-risk trades, turning them into action-labeled datasets for VLA models - starting with a corpus no one else can reach.
🔹 Rimb – A data platform that turns raw egocentric and robot footage into training-ready episodes. Rimb annotates objects, hands, actions, and depth, delivering in your preferred format straight into your training stack.
🔹 Woju Labs – Real agricultural data from a working farm in Nigeria. Woju Labs runs specification-led video collections across poultry houses, piggery, feed mills, and field operations - bringing Physical AI teams access to underrepresented real-world tasks and environments.
Why attend? Hear how these founders are building the data moats that will separate the winners from the rest in Physical AI and learn what it takes to collect, validate, and own proprietary data at scale.

This event is hosted at the Frontier Tower:
We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village—a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, makerspace, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
