Annotations for robotics data

Shotwell AI is building the data QA layer for dexterous robotics. We work with teams collecting teleoperation and egocentric data to provide dense semantic annotation and validate task adherence. This lets teams compress feedback loops from weeks to hours and iterate on models much faster.
