Household Services
Cooking, food prep and laundry filmed from the wearer's point of view in real homes.
Published sample is a 720p re-encode. Source resolution confirmed in quote.
Overview
Household tasks are the hardest benchmark for general-purpose robots: cluttered counters, deformable cloth, liquids, heat and tools all in one scene. This dataset captures those tasks from the operator's eyes, so hand–object interactions stay in frame for the whole activity.
Recordings are made in real, lived-in homes rather than staged labs. Lighting, counter height, utensils and layouts vary from home to home, which is the kind of distribution shift a household robot meets on day one.
Sessions are continuous: a recording starts before the task and ends after it, without cuts. The published laundry sample alone runs 10 minutes 19 seconds of uninterrupted hand washing.
Environments

Built for
- Imitation learning for kitchen and laundry manipulation
- Vision-language-action (VLA) pretraining on long-horizon chores
- Hand–object interaction and grasp-type recognition
- Deformable-object (cloth, food) and liquid handling
Scenarios
PreviewPancake Cooking and Plating
Pouring batter, flipping with a spatula over a gas stove and transferring to a plate — tool use, heat and timing in one task.
PreviewVegetable Cutting and Preparation
Washing, peeling and slicing vegetables on a cutting board, then moving them into bowls — knife use on deformable produce.
PreviewHandwashing Laundry
Soaking, scrubbing, wringing and rinsing clothes in a basin — continuous two-handed manipulation of wet cloth.

FAQ
Are the household recordings staged?
No. Recordings are made in contributors' own homes during real chores, so layouts, lighting and utensils vary naturally between sessions.
Can I buy only the cooking subset?
Yes. Quotes are built per scenario. Tell us the scenarios and hour volume you need in the quote form and we confirm what is in stock.
Do the videos include audio?
Some capture devices record audio (the laundry sample does). Audio can be delivered or stripped depending on your licence and privacy requirements.
