Recording Guide

Create high-quality embodied AI training videos

Videos recorded following this guide will be used directly to train embodied intelligence models. High-quality POV videos are the key data for robots to learn to operate like humans.

Why Quality Matters

Video quality directly affects model training effectiveness

Embodied AI robots need to learn operational skills from human first-person videos. Every detail of the video—hand position, motion trajectory, object interaction—will be absorbed and learned by the model.

Low-quality videos can cause the model to learn incorrect motion patterns or miss key steps, while high-quality videos significantly improve model generalization and success rates. Every careful recording you make contributes to the capability improvement of next-generation robots.

Five-Dimensional Quality Standards

Each dimension has clear qualified and excellent criteria

🤌

Hand Visibility

30%
Qualified: Both hands in frame 80% of the time
Excellent: Visible 95%+ of the time

Practical Tips

  • Keep hands in the center of the frame
  • Avoid moving out of view
📷

Stability

25%
Qualified: Jitter <5°/s
Excellent: <2°/s (near fixed-camera quality)

Practical Tips

  • Use head-mounted/chest-mounted camera
  • Avoid handheld shooting

Completeness

20%
Qualified: Main steps complete
Excellent: Includes preparation and cleanup

Practical Tips

  • Start from picking up the tool
  • Record through to completing the operation
💡

Lighting

15%
Qualified: Objects distinguishable
Excellent: Even lighting without harsh shadows

Practical Tips

  • Face the light source while operating
  • Avoid backlighting
📐

Composition

10%
Qualified: Operation area centered
Excellent: 45° top-down angle, 60-80% of frame

Practical Tips

  • Point camera down at the operation area
  • Distance 40-70cm
