Reach the right environments
We source relevant sites and contributors, assess local feasibility and coordinate permissions. Our commercial collection experience is expanding through dozens of partnerships with mid-to-large sized companies.
For robotics & physical AI teams
Your collection team,
extended across borders.
Norda runs custom real-world data collection for model and robot training. We coordinate sites, contributors, equipment and daily quality review across geographies, working as an extension of your team.
Reduce coordination work
Norda manages capture instructions, equipment setup and daily contributor feedback, so your team can focus on training requirements and reviewing the final output.
Control scope and rework
We agree the outputs upfront, test the setup in a pilot and correct capture issues during collection. Equipment and processing follow what the task needs.
For data buyers
01Can we review sample footage before starting a project?
Yes. You can request private access to a selection of 24 egocentric clips from residential and commercial environments. The selection contains raw footage, without annotations or accompanying metadata. Our team reviews requests and follows up by email.

02Can Norda collect the particular tasks and environments we need?
Each Norda program starts with your learning objective, required tasks, and target environments. We organize contributors, site access, and capture equipment around that specification. Our collection experience initially focused on residential egocentric activity, with commercial collection expanding through company partnerships (12 site access and collection agreements with mid-to-large businesses, and growing).
03What cameras and capture systems do you use?
We are aligning our equipment around a baseline of Full HD video (1920 × 1080 pixels) at 30 frames per second, with camera positioning that keeps the relevant hands, tools and interactions clearly visible throughout the task. Moreover, the exact equipment is selected around the required viewpoint, visibility, image quality, and operating environment. Additional sensors, calibration, and synchronization requirements can be assessed and validated for the specific program.
04What will we receive in a project delivery?
The delivery specification is agreed before collection: required footage, file organization, technical parameters, and any accompanying annotations or additional outputs. If your workflow requires particular labels, metadata, or a dataset format, we assess those requirements during scoping.
05How do you check quality and handle recordings that miss the specification?
Our current collection workflow includes daily footage review and feedback to contributors. Checks follow the task requirements, including whether relevant hands, objects, and actions are visible and whether the capture protocol was followed. We use corrective feedback and targeted recollection where needed. Acceptance criteria and the treatment of nonconforming recordings are agreed for each program.
06Can we start with a pilot, and what determines cost and timing?
Yes. We start with a focused pilot to validate the capture setup and resulting data against your requirements before scaling. Scope, pricing, and timing depend on task complexity, site access, contributor requirements, equipment, volume, and any annotation or additional processing. Pilot deliverables and the criteria for progressing to recurring collection are agreed upfront.
07How are data rights, confidentiality, and exclusivity handled?
We define site permissions, participant consent, and the customer’s permitted data use for each program. Our current client work operates under confidentiality and exclusivity arrangements. For a new engagement, licensing or ownership, exclusivity, and any restrictions on reuse can be agreed on a case by case scenario. Confidential client footage and specifications are not available as public examples.
08How is project data transferred, accessed, and retained?
Transfer arrangements, authorized access, and retention requirements are defined for each program. Our operating experience includes cloud-based delivery, with retention requirements set according to the client engagement. Any specific hosting, access-control, or deletion requirements should be included during scoping so we can confirm the appropriate setup.
09What do your published scale figures represent?
The 65,000+ delivered hours and 300+ contributors reflect prior collection programs delivered by members of Norda’s current operating network. The 68,000+ employee figure describes potential reach through current company relationships. New programs may still require their own task fit, site arrangements, and participant onboarding which is outside of our current site sourcing perimeter.
