What’s inside?

  • A treasure trove of training data from 100 robots performing tasks across industrial, domestic, and commercial settings.

  • Scenarios range from basic object manipulation to complex multi-robot coordination, with 40% focused on household activities.

  • The dataset is 10x larger than Google’s Open X-Embodiment in navigational data, spanning 100x more scenarios.

  • Available for free on platforms like HuggingFace and GitHub.

Why should you care?

High-quality training data has been a major bottleneck in robotics development. This release could:

  1. Accelerate household robotics innovation by providing unparalleled data.

  2. Empower smaller developers, offering access to resources previously limited to tech giants.

In short, AgiBot World Alpha isn’t just data—it’s a rocket fuel for the next era of humanoid robotics.
