Industry experts increasingly describe data as the biggest bottleneck in robotics and automation. Unlike large language models such as ChatGPT or Gemini, which were trained on vast quantities of text available online, robots require first-person recordings of physical work. Companies collecting egocentric footage say the future may require hundreds of millions – and potentially billions – of hours of human activity filmed across factories, warehouses, shops and homes before robots can reliably navigate real-world environments. India is fast becoming a crucial hub in the global race to collect egocentric data. Sensing the opportunity, a growing ecosystem of firms, including Humyn AI, FPV Labs, Micro1, Egodata, Neocambrian, XP Robotics, Objectways, Scale AI and CynLr, has emerged to build data pipelines for robotics companies. submitted by /u/ranaji55
