Encord, a data tooling company in California, is experimenting with brain wave measurement to enhance AI training for robotics. By using a headset that tracks brain activity, they aim to create a more effective dataset that captures mental states during robotic tasks. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address the shortage of real-world training data necessary for advancing humanoid and warehouse robotics.
The collaboration with Zander Labs focuses on generating brain wave-tagged data to evaluate its impact on robotic performance. As the demand for precise training data grows, Encord is also exploring other modalities, such as muscle signal detection, to improve the understanding of human-like manipulation in robots.
