Even the most advanced simulations cannot solve the infinite complexity of the physical world.
A "crawl space" or "attic" may seem like a simple category, but across America, no two work environments are ever the same.
Beyond Simulation
Into Real Intelligence
Delivering precision-engineered solutions that power innovation, efficiency, and global industry growth.
We Capture
What We Do
We capture narrated POV video with POV meta glasses-worn on real residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical jobs authentic training data for humanoid robots and embodied AI. Without it, decades of expert knowledge vanish with every retirement. We lead the collection with our licensed crews and welcome other trades to grow the dataset exponentially.
By 2031, 41% of skilled trades workers will retire taking decades of irreplaceable expertise with them.
Exclusive Features
Data Anonymization Standards.
Face Blurring
All human faces appearing in the frame (technicians, clients, or bystanders) are automatically detected.
Location Privacy
Specific house numbers, street signs, or identifiable vehicle license plates are removed or blurred to protect.
Voice Scrubbing
Background conversations unrelated to the technical task are filtered, leaving only the expert's technical narration.
Identity & Document Masking
Any sensitive documents, ID cards, or personal paperwork visible in the environment are masked.
Best Features
Unrivaled Real World Diversity
Expert Narratives Meet First-Person Precision
View All Datasets
High-value AI training requires more than just pixels—it requires expert intent.
By pairing seasoned trades professionals with Ray-Ban Meta egocentric capture technology, we provide the ultimate training ground for imitation learning.
Integration
The “Why” Behind the “How.”
We don’t just capture motion — we capture the intelligence behind every action.
Bimanual Coordination
Two-handed tool use in tight, unpredictable spaces the way humans (and future humanoids) work.
Grasping
Natural, adaptive gripping of tools, pipes, and materials in messy real-world conditions.
Tool Use
Real tradespeople narrating why they choose specific tools and techniques — the missing context simulations can’t provide.
Decision Making
Real tradespeople narrating why they choose specific tools and techniques — the missing context simulations can’t provide.

Tradeye captures real-world, first-person POV narrated video clips during actual HVAC, plumbing, and electrical home-service installations in occupied residential homes.
All footage is captured legally on live job sites under a valid California C20 HVAC Contractor License (held by the founder since 2012). This gives us authentic, messy, long-horizon data from real occupied homes that most teams cannot legally or ethically record.
Licensed trades professionals wear body-worn cameras (Meta/Ray-Ban style smart glasses) while performing real work. They naturally narrate their actions, tools, and decision-making in real time, turning decades of hands-on expertise into high-fidelity training data.
All faces and identifying information are anonymized. We only record the professional work being performed no personal conversations or unrelated activity are captured.
Robotics companies, AI labs, and researchers working on humanoid robots, embodied AI, sim-to-real transfer, and home-service automation.
Yes. The full growing dataset (currently thousands+ clips) is openly available on Hugging Face: Tradeye/real-trades-pov-v1 · Datasets at Hugging Face.
