Problem
Embodied AI systems need rich, multimodal data to understand and replicate skilled manual work, but existing datasets rely primarily on egocentric video, which misses critical tactile and pressure information. This limitation hinders the development of AI that can effectively learn and perform complex physical tasks.
Solution
Scraft is an applied research lab building the data layer for embodied AI, with an emphasis on Skilled Craftswork. The company designs and builds proprietary capture systems that record touch, pressure, and movement associated with skilled manual labor. These systems generate specialized datasets that provide a more complete picture of physical task execution for AI training and research. The focus is on the frontier beyond egocentric video, capturing the tactile dimensions of work that video alone cannot convey.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI research labs and teams developing embodied AI systems that require specialized datasets on skilled manual work for model training and evaluation.
