Caribbean nearshore data collection for the next generation of intelligent robots. Egocentric video, teleoperation demonstrations, and multimodal sensor capture — supplied to humanoid robotics labs, physical AI companies, and frontier AI vendors.
Start a Pilot Free 5-Hour TrialThe humanoid robotics industry needs high-quality demonstration data to train the next generation of intelligent robots. By 2026, leading labs need an estimated 100 million to 1 billion hours of egocentric and teleoperation data over the next 2-3 years. Current supply is at most 200,000 hours — a 10-15x shortage. EFECC is built to close that gap from the Caribbean.
Humanoid robots learn from human demonstration. The training set must include:
Trinidad and Tobago offers a structural advantage for data collection:
Sources: Stellaris Venture Partners (100M-1B hours needed by 2028); LinkedIn analysis of egocentric video market; EMBL Ventures robotics data reports.
Native English + Spanish-speaking operators in the US Eastern time zone. Stable workforce, low attrition, full DST overlap with North American labs.
Operator calibration, real-time jerk/stall detection, per-episode success classifiers, per-operator dashboards. Buyer-visible rejection held under 10%.
RLDS, HDF5, LeRobot Parquet, Zarr, or custom. Per-episode metadata, calibration files, and engineering handoff included with every batch.
We are not a marketplace. We are not a crowdsourced annotation tool. We are a managed pod — recruited, trained, and operated end-to-end on your behalf.
Head-mounted rigs capturing household tasks, kitchen workflows, daily routines. Paired narration, language instruction, multi-environment diversity.
VR-controlled (Meta Quest 3), leader-follower, and exoskeleton rigs. Multi-sensor capture synchronized with robot action labels.
RGB, depth, IMU, proprioception, force/torque. Hardware-level synchronized for imitation learning and VLA model training.
Human ratings, response comparisons, and red-teaming for AI labs. Specialists for code, math, writing, and domain expertise.
Episode-level language instructions, subtask segmentation, success/failure labels, contact state tags, trajectory quality scores.
5 to 200 trained operators dedicated to your program. Recruited, calibrated, and managed end-to-end under one SLA.
Trinidad HQ with operator network across T&T, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, and broader CARICOM. Multi-country scale-up available.
Run a no-strings pilot so you can evaluate our quality, our operators, and our QA framework before any contract.
You define the task, robot embodiment, sensor stack, success criteria. We design the protocol and quote within 48 hours.
Every operator passes a proficiency test on success rate, motion quality, reset discipline, and consistency before going live.
Real-time monitoring of throughput, failure modes, scene coverage, and per-operator quality. Weekly drop deliveries.
RLDS, HDF5, LeRobot, Zarr, or custom. Manifests, calibration files, quality reports, engineering handoff in every batch.
Commercial-release consent infrastructure. Per-participant documentation, cleared rights, audit-ready provenance.
Capture, transfer, and storage within Caribbean and US-jurisdiction data centers. Compliant by design.
Most in-house collection programs fail on three things. We solve all three.
Most egocentric datasets are biased toward US/EU households, accents, and layouts. Models trained on them fail in real-world deployment. We provide Caribbean household diversity — underrepresented in current training data.
Frontier AI labs need 1,000+ quality demonstrations per week. In-house teams plateau at 50-100. We deliver 1,000+ with continuous QA and weekly drop cadence.
Robotics teams use RLDS, HDF5, LeRobot Parquet, Zarr — and sometimes custom schemas. We deliver in any format with manifests, calibration files, and engineering handoff.
Head-mounted and wearable rigs capturing first-person household, kitchen, and workplace activity. Multi-environment, multi-accents.
VR (Quest 3), leader-follower, and exoskeleton rigs. Synchronized multi-sensor capture for imitation learning.
RGB, depth, IMU, proprioception, force/torque — hardware-synchronized at sub-frame precision.
Episode instructions, subtask segmentation, success labels, trajectory quality scores, contact state tags.
Human ratings, response comparisons, red-teaming, domain expertise review for AI labs.
5 to 200 trained operators managed end-to-end on your behalf. Recruitment, calibration, QA, payroll — handled.
EFECC Consulting Limited is a Trinidad and Tobago incorporated company building a managed AI training data collection operation for the global humanoid robotics and physical AI industry. Our primary business is operating a Caribbean nearshore pod — supplying egocentric video, teleoperation demonstrations, and multimodal sensor capture to frontier AI labs and humanoid robotics companies.
We also provide complementary services in risk advisory, compliance, and document verification for Caribbean organizations through our EFECCtive platform — but the data collection business is our focus, our growth engine, and the reason EFECC exists.
