How much do your robotics data annotation services cost?
Our pricing is transparent and highly competitive, tailored to the complexity of the task. For autonomous systems, we charge concrete rates such as $3/km for road lane annotation, $8/hr for image editing and segmentation, and $0.20 per Abaka Forge credit. This predictable model ensures you never face hidden management fees.
What is the typical turnaround time for an annotation project?
Speed is a core advantage. Standard pilot datasets are completed and aligned within 1–2 weeks. Once we shift into full-scale production, our platform automation and distributed workforce can process up to 500 files per annotator per day, significantly reducing your timeline compared to internal teams.
Which robotics modalities and data formats do you support?
We cover every major modality needed for embodied AI. This includes 2D images, video spatial reasoning, 3D/4D point clouds, and LiDAR + camera fusion. We seamlessly export into standard formats like JSON, COCO, YOLO, and PCD directly from the Abaka Forge platform.
How do you ensure accuracy in complex spatial datasets?
We guarantee 99% accuracy through our multi-layer QA framework. We utilize vertically specialized annotators and scholar-network reviewers who understand physical space, applying rigorous consensus checks and model-as-judge validations to eliminate errors in your ground truth.
How secure is my proprietary sensor data?
Data security is our highest priority. We maintain stringent SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. All annotation happens within completely segregated secure pipelines, governed by strict NDAs, ensuring your proprietary robotic training data is never exposed.
Can you annotate data from multiple global locations in different languages?
Yes. Our workforce spans over 50 countries, enabling us to handle multilingual audio, text, and geographically distinct visual data. This global presence ensures your embodied AI systems are trained to operate flawlessly across diverse international environments.
How does Abaka AI compare to standard labeling crowdsourcing?
Unlike standard crowdsourcing, we are a dedicated, trustworthy data partner for frontier AI. We do not build models that compete with you, and we utilize trained, vertically specialized experts rather than random gig workers, ensuring vastly superior accuracy for complex spatial tasks.
How do you handle changes to annotation guidelines mid-project?
Our workflows are designed for agility. Your dedicated project pod remains in constant communication with your engineering team. If guidelines shift based on new model requirements, we swiftly update instructions, retrain our annotators, and implement new validation rules without derailing the project timeline.
Do you offer pilot projects before full-scale deployment?
Absolutely. Our 'Day 0–3' setup initiates a small-scale pilot phase. This allows your team to review the annotated output, verify our 99% spatial precision, and perfectly align our labeling logic with your AI architecture before committing to high-volume production.
Who retains ownership of the annotated robotics data?
You retain 100% exclusive ownership of all collected and annotated data. Your data is exclusively yours—never repurposed, resold, or shared. We guarantee full IP provenance and 0% copyright risk across every asset we deliver.
What is Abaka Forge and how does it help?
Abaka Forge is our proprietary all-in-one data platform. It centralizes collection, cleaning, annotation, and training into a single secure ecosystem. Utilizing large-model automation, Forge processes massive streams of video and 3D data up to 50x faster, dramatically reducing your operational overhead.
Is there a minimum project size for 3D or LiDAR annotation?
We partner with teams of all sizes, from cutting-edge frontier model labs initiating pilot research to global enterprises deploying fleets of autonomous robots. While we optimize for scale, our elastic workforce adapts seamlessly to your specific project volume requirements.
