Summary
According to a post on X by @GroundedSI, Grounded has released RoboCap-10k, a dataset of 10,000 hours of open first-person video showing people doing paid work across 11 countries and 21 industries. Each frame includes metric 3D head and hand tracking, and the data is available in LeRobot format on Hugging Face. The same post says Walden Robotics detailed its LBM 2.0 "Sage" model at CoRL, and that a customer called within an hour of it going live on a factory floor.

What happened
The dataset covers people doing paid work across 11 countries and 21 industries, with metric 3D head and hand tracking on every frame, and is available in LeRobot format on Hugging Face. At CoRL, Walden Robotics also detailed its LBM 2.0 “Sage” model, saying a customer called within an hour of it going live on a...
Why it matters
Robotics teams training models on human demonstrations may find a large open set of work footage with detailed hand and head tracking useful for their own experiments. The Walden claim points to interest in deploying robot models on factory floors, but the source offers only one customer anecdote. Watch for more detail on how the dataset is used and whether the factory deployment is documented further.
