What we do

Behavioral data

We build high-quality behavioral datasets that capture how people interact with physical systems, spaces, and tasks in real-world environments.

Applied research foundations

Our work is grounded in human-centered research and behavioral science, drawing on years of academic and field experience to inform how data is structured and interpreted.

Human-centric system design

We work with robotics and physical AI teams to ensure behavioral data reflects deployment realities, not just controlled or idealized settings.

How partnerships work

Define the deployment context

We start by understanding the environment where systems will operate and the types of human interaction that shape real-world performance.

Specify behavioral data needs

Together, we identify the behavioral signals and data scope required to reflect realistic usage patterns and deployment conditions.
