RoboX Egocentric Collection
The RoboX Egocentric Collection is a crowdsourced egocentric video dataset of human first-person interactions, built for robotics imitation learning. Clips are filmed from a first-person perspective using a smartphone and span four campaigns: grasping, daily activities, scene captures, and navigation.
What's Included Here
This repository contains 7,342 annotated clips across four RoboX campaigns. Each campaign is published as a self-contained folder with its own video clips, metadata, annotations, and reports.

Repository Structure
The collection is organized by campaign. Each campaign folder is a complete, self-contained dataset.

Collection Method
Videos are collected through the RoboX mobile app by distributed contributors following structured task prompts. Each campaign has its own prompt set and quality criteria. Quality filtering and review are applied before clips enter the annotation pipeline.
The app captures video with rich per-frame metadata including camera pose (6DoF), IMU data (200Hz), hand keypoints (21 joints), body pose, object detection, scene planes, optical flow, audio levels, navigation data, and quality metrics. On-device processing applies face detection and blurring before the video leaves the device.
Annotation Pipeline
Each clip is processed through a layered annotation pipeline:
- Hand keypoints: 2D joint positions for both hands across all frames
- Object detection and tracking: Bounding boxes with per-frame object identity tracking
- Action segmentation: Temporal labels for campaign-specific phases (reach, grasp, lift, hold, place, release for EgoGrasp; task segments for EgoDaily; scan and focus segments for EgoScene; walk, turn, traverse for EgoNav)
- Spatial context: Scene-level labels describing surface type, environment, and camera viewpoint
Annotation coverage varies by campaign. EgoGrasp and EgoDaily include the full annotation stack. EgoScene emphasizes spatial context and object detection. EgoNav emphasizes camera pose, IMU, and scene segmentation.
For full schema details, see the taxonomy.json and README.md inside each campaign folder.
Use Cases
The RoboX Egocentric Collection is designed for researchers working on imitation learning, manipulation, navigation, and scene understanding. The egocentric viewpoint and real-world diversity make it well suited for sim-to-real transfer and learning from unstructured environments.
Specific applications include:
- Robotic manipulation and grasping policy training via imitation learning
- Long-horizon activity recognition and temporal action segmentation
- Visual navigation and SLAM for mobile robots
- Scene understanding and 3D spatial reasoning
- Hand-object interaction modeling
- Object recognition in egocentric settings
- Benchmarking across multi-task egocentric settings
Request Additional Episodes
Need more episodes, larger collections, or custom data tailored to your use case? RoboX runs ongoing collection campaigns and can deliver:
- Larger volumes of any of the four campaigns
- New custom campaigns built around your specific tasks, environments, or object categories
- Higher-resolution video, raw sensor streams, or extended annotation layers
