- Physical AI
- Open-Source Datasets
Build manufactures head-mounted cameras worn by factory workers to capture first-person video of real industrial tasks, then open-sources the resulting datasets for training humanoid and industrial robot foundation models. The company has released some of the largest egocentric-video datasets in existence — but its rapid scaling has also drawn investigative scrutiny over worker consent and compensation.
