We deploy 50,000+ in-home data collectors to capture labeled human behavior data. Train your robots on authentic daily living tasks—not simulations. Data collection starts in 24 hours.
Trusted by leading robotics & AI teams
The simulation-to-real gap is killing your model performance. Staged captures miss the chaos of real life. And building your own collection infrastructure? That's 2 years and $15M you don't have.
Household robots need to understand how humans actually live—the cluttered counters, the non-standard layouts, the left-handed users. Synthetic data can't capture this. Your test kitchen can't either.
Perfectly staged environments that don't generalize to real-world deployment
18+ months to build infrastructure, limited to employee homes
Inconsistent quality, privacy risks, no protocol compliance
50K+ trained collectors in real homes, production data in 24 hours
Define what you need, and we deploy our network. Real homes. Real humans. Real tasks. No infrastructure required.
Specify tasks, angles, demographics, and labeling requirements
We match your specs to our 50K+ trained collectors in real homes
Track collection in real-time via Mission Control dashboard
QA-verified data delivered in your preferred format, ready to train
Define tasks, capture requirements, and annotation schemas through an intuitive interface. Our system translates specs into clear instructions for field collectors.
Access 50,000+ certified data collectors—personal care workers already in homes 8 hours daily. Match projects by geography, demographic, or specialty.
Monitor collection progress in real-time. Track tasks completed, geographic distribution, and quality signals. Adjust projects on the fly.
Automated quality checks for framing, lighting, and completeness. Statistical analysis flags outliers. Human reviewers verify labeling accuracy.
Receive data in your preferred format—raw video, extracted frames, or pre-labeled in COCO, YOLO, or custom schemas. API access available.
SOC 2 Type II compliant. Consent management, face blurring options, secure transmission, and data retention controls. HIPAA-compatible.
"We tried synthetic data, staged captures, even sent engineers to homes. Nothing worked until Propel. Our manipulation success rate jumped 34% in two months."
"Building this network ourselves would have taken two years and $15M. Propel had us collecting in a week. They're now critical infrastructure for our robotics program."
"The diversity in Propel's data is unprecedented. We're seeing generalization to novel environments that wasn't possible with our previous datasets."
Start with a pilot project. Scale to enterprise volumes.
200 labeled tasks to validate data quality and fit
Platform access + per-task pricing for ongoing collection
Dedicated collector pools and custom infrastructure
They're trying now—but they're starting from zero. Building trusted access to thousands of homes takes years. We're the first to recognize that care agencies have already built this network. We didn't create supply; we activated existing, underutilized capacity. Our insight was recognizing that care workers are naturally skilled observers already trained in documentation.
Three layers: (1) Collector certification—every worker completes training on capture protocols, privacy, and quality standards before activation. (2) Statistical QA pipeline—automated checks for framing, lighting, completeness, plus human review sampling. (3) Feedback loops—collectors are rated on acceptance rate, and customer feedback flows back to training. Our 94% acceptance rate proves the system works.
Privacy is foundational to our model. All collection follows strict protocols: explicit consent from homeowners, transparent data use policies, face blurring options, secure transmission, and configurable retention periods. We're SOC 2 Type II compliant and offer HIPAA-compatible collection for healthcare applications.
We support flexible delivery: raw video, extracted frames at configurable FPS, point cloud data if depth sensors are used, and pre-labeled datasets in COCO, YOLO, or custom annotation schemas. You can stream continuously, receive batch deliveries, or pull via API. Data arrives ready to train, not ready to wrangle.
We can deploy to our full 50,000+ collector network within 48 hours for high-priority projects. Typical ramp: 100 tasks in 24 hours, 1,000 tasks in a week, 10,000+ tasks in a month. For enterprise customers, we offer dedicated collector pools for guaranteed capacity and consistent individuals across sessions.
Our standard library includes 50+ activities of daily living: kitchen tasks (cooking, dishwashing, organizing), cleaning (vacuuming, laundry, surfaces), personal care assistance, mobility and navigation, and object manipulation. For custom tasks, you define the protocol and we train collectors—we've captured everything from medication sorting to pet care to furniture assembly.
