The real world, captured by human hands.

Robots learn in labs and simulations. They fail in real kitchens. humanhands supplies consented, provenance-verified data from real homes in Germany — the part no simulation produces.

For robotics teams → I want to contribute

Your gym covers the core. We cover the rest of the world.

Training centres and simulation produce the controlled case — clean lighting, known objects, repeatable setup. Robots fail on everything else. We supply the everything else.

Beyond the lab

Real homes, not a hall

Cluttered kitchens, odd lighting, worn objects, left-handed people, a cat walking through the shot. The rare cases that decide whether a policy survives outside the building.

Provenance

Auditable, not promised

Every accepted capture ships an Ed25519-signed manifest: verified human, timestamp, server-measured facts, consent version. Verify it yourself — no trust in us required.

EU AI Act · Art. 10

Consent at capture time

Origin and consent are recorded when the data is made, not reconstructed afterwards. Collected and stored in Germany. Built for teams that ship into the EU.

Proof, not marketing

Each item carries a signed manifest. Anyone can check it against our public key — including data we never see again.

Get in early.

We are onboarding deliberately: a small number of robotics teams, and the people who capture for them. Tell us which side you are on.

For robotics & AI companies

Request a pilot

Tell us the task you cannot get clean data for. We come back with a concrete pilot proposal.

Typically 300–500 demonstrations of one task

For people

Capture & get paid

Short everyday recordings with your phone — folding laundry, emptying the dishwasher. You decide what you record, and you are paid for accepted captures.

You own the decision: nothing is recorded without you
