Training data for robotics AI

Prepare camera images, video demonstrations, and task records for robot perception and manipulation. Keep object labels and action context connected.
Robot detection, arm keypoints, metal-part instance masks, floor segmentation, and tracked picking frames

Annotation use cases for robotics

Turn source data into clear, task-specific training examples.
Object boundaries annotation example

Object boundaries

Outline individual parts in cluttered scenes for consistent instance segmentation.
Parcel detection annotation example

Parcel detection

Label each parcel separately to train robot-camera object detectors.
Parts and properties annotation example

Parts and properties

Use shared classes and properties to distinguish gears, brackets, and other components.
Landmarks for manipulation annotation example

Landmarks for manipulation

Place keypoints on task-relevant tool tips and fixture centers.

Built for AI Data at Scale

Connect data curation, shared label definitions, review, and dataset versions in one workflow.
15X
Faster robotics data annotation

Label perception and demonstration data with unified tools and review workflows.

60%
Less time on data operations

Automate curation, management, and versioning of robotics datasets.

5X
Lower Training Data Costs

Reusable ontologies and governed quality control reduce labeling and review rework.

Labels that preserve source context

Match the annotation geometry and properties to your model’s task.
Object boundaries annotation detail

Instance segmentation

Outline each visible part separately, including touching objects. Define how to handle occluded edges so every annotator follows the same boundary convention.

Task-specific keypoints

Use a fixed keypoint definition for tool tips and fixture centers. Inspect landmark placement across orientations before using these examples for manipulation models.

Robotics FAQs

What is data annotation for robotics?

Data annotation adds defined labels to source data so models can learn a specific task. For robotics, examples include object boundaries and parcel detection. Unitlab connects this work in its data annotation platform.

Which data types can teams annotate?

Choose the tools that match the source data: image annotation, video annotation, multimodal annotation. Keep linked sources together when the task requires shared context. Confirm input formats and annotation requirements before starting a project.

Which robotics use cases can I explore?

Explore robotic object recognition and robot demonstration annotation for focused labeling examples. These solution pages explain the training-data task; the linked modality pages describe the annotation tools.

How do I keep annotation rules consistent?

Define classes, required properties, and boundary rules before labeling. Use examples such as object boundaries to resolve ambiguous cases. See the classes and annotation types guide.

How do I select representative training data?

Use data curation to inspect examples and filter available metadata. Plan coverage across objects, workspaces, camera viewpoints, and task stages, then check for missing or overrepresented conditions before annotation.

How are annotations reviewed before training?

Use annotation quality assurance to inspect labels against the task guidelines. Consensus helps compare annotator agreement; Quality Gate stages apply configured checks before work advances. Route uncertain examples to the appropriate reviewer.

What is the difference between a dataset version and an annotation release?

A dataset version records a source-data selection; an annotation release packages the annotation outputs for downstream use. Use dataset management to inspect and organize data, and consult the guide to annotation releases before preparing training exports.

Can I export data and connect my training pipeline?

Choose an output format supported for your annotation task and validate the result with your training code. Read the export formats guide and the API, SDK, and CLI documentation for automation and integration options.

How do I get started?

Start with a representative sample, a clear label specification, and an agreed review process. Read the image annotation documentation or discuss your workflow with the Unitlab team.
