Abaka Pulse : Latest Insights in AI & Data | Jan 1-20

At the Core ｜Ego-View Embodied Data

Most embodied AI systems fail not because they misunderstand the goal, but because they misunderstand the execution.

The industry is hitting a wall: we train agents using "third-person" perspectives, yet expect them to perform in a "first-person" reality. Occlusions, motion blur, and partial observability aren't bugs—they are the fundamental properties of the real world.

Abaka AI dives into why Ego-View (First-Person) data is the substrate for true intelligence:

• 10,000+ Hours of continuous ego-view trajectories in real homes.
• Beyond Labels: Why describing how an action unfolds matters more than what task was completed.
• The Feedback Loop: How we move from one-off datasets to continuous data infrastructure.
