Could you build this?
No Asimov coordinates global human data collection for robotics, involving custom head-mounted hardware distribution, physical workforce coordination across continents, and complex 3D sensor/pose annotation pipelines. This is predominantly an operations, hardware logistics, and computer vision data pipeline business.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires mobile capture apps (recording synchronized video, IMU, and LiDAR data), video processing pipelines (extracting egocentric 3D poses, depth estimation, and SLAM trajectories), and human annotator management platforms. The primary hurdles are physical logistics (hardware distribution and salary coverage across multiple countries), video QA infrastructure, and proprietary CV annotation pipelines.
