What people ask about United States
Who is collecting robot training data in United States?
NVIDIA's synthetic supply: 780,000 trajectories in eleven hours, and an open simulated set of about 273,000; DROID: 76,000 demonstration trajectories, 350 hours, one robot arm, under CC BY 4.0; The US answer to a training ground is a manufacturing institute's data call: the ARM Institute's AI Data Foundry. Each has its own record page with the figures its own publisher printed and the date they were true.
What rules decide what a robot maker may do with hours recorded in United States?
No US export rule names robot training data; the AI diffusion rule that reached model weights is under rescission; US state biometric laws: Washington excludes video recordings from the definition, Texas needs consent for face geometry, and the Illinois text could not be reached; A Senate bill, not a law: the Humanoid ROBOT Act of 2025 would order a report on data of US persons obtained through humanoid robots.
