Your operators know the hard parts
Motionyard works with factories, contract manufacturers and operations providers to collect permissioned, supervised task data for robotics teams.
Apply as a data partnerThree ways to take part
Production bench assembly Authorize a real workflow
We capture a specific, approved process during normal work, with fixed views, defined fields and worker consent. Normal production continues and keeps funding normal wages.
Suits established manual processes with clear success checks.
You produce: Authentic workplace footage, enriched with SOP data.
Illustration: bimanual teleoperation Host an isolated collection cell
A dedicated bench in a separate area of your facility. We bring owned parts, fixtures and capture equipment; you provide space, power, connectivity and a named supervisor.
Suits sites with spare floor space and a skilled workforce.
You produce: Staged demonstrations or teleoperation trajectories.
Inspection under a stereo microscope Staff a supervised task program
Your trained operators run a written SOP on a paid schedule, at your site or ours. We handle review, annotation, delivery and buyer acceptance.
Suits operations providers and contract manufacturers with flexible labour.
You produce: Whatever modality the buyer specifies.
You decide what leaves your building
You approve the scope. Each workflow, camera view and data field is approved in writing before recording. Anything not listed is not captured.
Customer IP stays out. We use owned parts and open designs. We do not need, and will not accept, customer drawings, names or production records.
Workers consent. Participation is voluntary, with explicit terms. Operators are pseudonymized in delivered data.
Licensing is explicit. Permitted uses, exclusivity, retention and territory are defined in the agreement.
Production is separate. Collection cells are apart from live lines: no moving machine doors, energized product or uncontrolled machinery.
You can stop it. Your supervisor can pause collection at any time, and a safe stop is always within reach.

How a partnership starts
Intake
Tell us about a workflow and your site.
Review
A call on process, footprint and permissions.
Approvals

Paid trial
A small sample batch, reviewed by the buyer.
Recurring work
Batches continue only on accepted results.
Common questions
Do you need access to our production line?
No. Real-work capture covers only the workflow you authorize. Cell programs run in a separate area; your line is untouched.
What if a buyer rejects data?
Rejection codes, review windows and who bears the cost are agreed up front. Rejected work does not silently become unpaid labour.
Will you install robots at our site?
Only for teleoperation cell programs you opt into, after a safety review. Many partnerships need no robots at all.
Which countries do you work in?
The collection country is set per program and approved by the buyer. Tell us where you operate and we will check the fit.
How are we paid?
On the terms agreed for each program, typically tied to collection time and accepted output. We propose terms after the review call.
