Graviti review: robotics datasets you can license off the shelf
Answer in brief: Graviti is the best robotics data company on our list for buying existing data instead of commissioning it. Its public catalog lists Ego-Exo Workplace Tasks (4,300+ hours, 4 synchronized views, available now), Egocentric Household Activities (10,000+ hours from 2,400+ contributors, available) and Bimanual Teleoperation Trajectories (120,000+ episodes across 180 task families, early access). Data ships in LeRobot, RLDS, WebDataset, Parquet or JSONL, with written contributor consent and perpetual licenses. Pricing is by quote.
Verdict: #4. The fastest route from spec sheet to training run. You can read a public spec and request a free evaluation sample before you ever talk to sales. Visit Graviti →

What Graviti does for robot-learning teams
Graviti captures, annotates and licenses datasets for humanoids, robots and LLMs, and runs custom collection programs on the same pipeline. Its flagship, Ego-Exo Workplace Tasks, records real workers doing their real jobs: small-part assembly and packaging in factories, hotel housekeeping, and office tidying. Each session uses a head-mounted camera plus three fixed cameras, synchronized and calibrated, at 30 fps. Annotators write timestamped free-text action descriptions, and a pose model estimates body keypoints. Raw footage can also be licensed without annotations.
Graviti says the data is used to pre-train VLA models and to train policies for humanoids and robot arms.
Who it fits best
Graviti fits teams that need data now for pre-training or world models, want to evaluate a sample before committing, and value workplace footage recorded where the work actually happens rather than staged in a lab.
Strengths that set it apart
- Public specs and free samples for every catalog dataset. Graviti says it replies within one business day with matching datasets, samples and a quote.
- Diversity by design: participants contribute no more than 10 hours each to the workplace dataset.
- Fits your stack: LeRobot, RLDS, WebDataset, Parquet and JSONL, delivered to S3, GCS, Azure or Hugging Face with documented schemas and data cards.
- Clean rights: written, revocable consent covering AI training, provenance for every record, optional blurring of faces, screens and documents, and perpetual rights to train and deploy, with exclusive options for strategic partners.
Honest drawbacks
- The teleoperation dataset is in early access, so availability and terms may change.
- Graviti also sells LLM datasets, so robotics is not its only business.
- Ready-made samples need a work email, and samples are for internal evaluation only.
Pricing model
Licensing by quote. Evaluation samples are free.
Best alternatives to Graviti
- Firsthand: custom egocentric capture with ten synchronized streams on its instrumented rig.
- Appen: an off-the-shelf catalog plus custom physical-AI collection.
- Scale AI: when you need large-volume custom teleop instead of catalog data.
