The sim-to-real gap
Policies trained in simplified environments can fail when site conditions, materials, tools, or task execution change.
Bridge the sim-to-real gap with multimodal training data. Agility Dynamics combines skilled human demonstrations, first-person vision, tactile sensing, and spatial motion in a unified pipeline for physical AI.
Turning expert human work into structured data for the next generation of robotic systems.
Unstructured jobsites are difficult to model. Simulation cannot fully represent changing materials, human dexterity, tool contact, and unpredictable field conditions.
Robot developers need reliable multimodal demonstrations, but spatial vision, body motion, and contact signals are often collected in disconnected systems. Aligning that data is a costly obstacle between research and deployment.
Policies trained in simplified environments can fail when site conditions, materials, tools, or task execution change.
Vision, tactile inputs, and spatial kinematics must be synchronized and calibrated before they become useful learning data.
Translating trade expertise into machine-readable demonstrations demands practical sensing hardware, task context, and repeatable collection methods.
A hardware-agnostic capture architecture and robotics data pipeline connect four purpose-built systems: Agility Vision, Touch, Motion, and Intelligence.
First-person visual sensing designed around protective jobsite equipment to capture tools, materials, spatial relationships, and task context.
Instrumented gloves and tool interfaces for capturing finger articulation, contact, grip, and dexterous interaction during real work.
Wearable kinematic capture for posture, joint movement, task sequences, and trajectories across unstructured work environments.
A data processing layer for time synchronization, annotation, task segmentation, and standardized outputs for imitation learning and simulation.
Agility Dynamics captures first-person context, hand interaction, and whole-body movement in a single workflow. The objective is not just documentation. It is to preserve the structure of expert execution in a form machines can learn from.
Raw recordings are only the starting point. Agility Intelligence reconstructs actions, segments tasks, and prepares data for simulation, evaluation, and downstream robotic learning workflows.
Construction robotics must account for people, tools, changing work zones, material tolerances, and safety-critical decisions. Better data captures more than motion. It preserves the conditions under which work is performed.
Represent variable materials, changing geometry, nearby workers, and shifting task conditions.
Capture sequence, fit, contact, and the signals that distinguish a completed task from a failed attempt.
Incorporate hazard context and task constraints into dataset specifications and controlled robot evaluation. Protective eyewear must meet applicable jobsite PPE requirements.
Capture synchronized demonstrations, structure them for machine learning, and evaluate how policies transfer from simulation to variable, real-world conditions.
Record vision, touch, motion, and context during real skilled work.
Turn multimodal recordings into structured demonstrations and action traces.
Prepare machine-readable representations for simulation and robotics training workflows.
Measure how demonstrations transfer into robotic behavior and iterate toward execution.
Construction is the starting point. The broader opportunity is much larger: building the infrastructure that allows machines to learn from skilled human work across the physical economy.
Agility Dynamics brings together the AI and systems expertise of Agility Automations with the field knowledge and construction experience of ACT Construction. The result is a practical, industry-informed approach to robotic learning infrastructure.
