We need far more capable models to control general-purpose robots effectively and enable them to carry out tasks in the physical world.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=95567\u0026key=user_uploads/2367289/7a226006-47e9-4c89-bcd2-b09ce89cb241)\n\n**The Solution:**\n\nTo train capable models, we need vast amounts of high-quality data. Our first dataset SEA (Spatial Everyday Activities) is the largest well-curated egocentric dataset of people performing tasks.\n\n**Story:**\n\nI’ve been building humanoids and dynamic robots for nearly a decade, starting in my garage when I was a kid.\n\nhttps://alexandros-petkos.com/humanoid-work\n\nhttps://alexandros-petkos.com/quadruped-work\n\nAlex","slug":"OrP-spatial-ai-large-datasets-for-robot-foundation-models","created_at":"2025-11-17T19:55:18.588Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T06:39:01.349Z","total_vote_count":22,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OrP-spatial-ai-large-datasets-for-robot-foundation-models","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=95567\u0026key=user_uploads/2367289/5313b99e-aa0b-46d4-b4d4-cd9983bedecd","company":{"id":30947,"name":"Philon","slug":"philon","url":"https://philon.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/9409424e7a4382c4c1dbec5ad6bcfa7c4ada98b2.png","batch":"Fall 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Robotics"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30947"}}
