Contributors use their smartphones to record first-person video across data campaigns covering object manipulation, social interaction, and scene understanding. All data is anonymized on-device before upload and processed through a layered annotation pipeline that extracts new data dimensions over time from a single recording. Instead of relying on expensive fleet vehicles or controlled lab setups, RoboX distributes collection across real people in real environments. Every phone that joins a campaign becomes a first-person data sensor. ### How RoboX Works 1. **Select a Campaign**: Choose from active data missions.
2. **Choose a Campaign:** Browse active campaigns and pick a recording task.
3. **Record a Clip:** Follow the instructions and capture first-person video of the task.
4. **On-Device Anonymization:** PII is stripped locally before anything leaves your phone.
5. **Layered Annotation:** Each clip is processed server-side through an annotation pipeline designed to add new data layers over time.
6. **Dataset Packaging:** Annotated datasets are structured for use by robotics labs and research teams. ### Privacy and Data Control All personal identifiers are stripped away before data ever leaves the phone. Everything is processed locally and securely.
* No exact locations are stored or shared * Faces, plates, and identifying details are removed on-device * Data is encrypted before transmission * Delete your data anytime through your account settings. * Data is collected only during active campaigns you choose to join, never in the background * All collection is opt-in and contributor-initiated * On-chain data provenance ensures every clip is traceable and verifiable * No data is sold to third parties without contributor consent * RoboX is GDPR-compliant User decides what to record, when to record, and whether to keep or delete it.
