# Robotics dataset collection brief

Diffraction | https://diffraction.agency/datasets/robotics-dataset-brief

Use this as a starting point for a scoped pilot. Replace the prompts with your requirements; mark unresolved decisions as TBD. This template does not specify an available product or universal acceptance standard.

## 1. Objective and use
- Target model/task and current failure:
- Human observation, robot demonstration, or another collection type:
- Embodiment and downstream evaluation:
- Intended training, evaluation and redistribution uses:

## 2. Episode definition
- Initial state, instruction and end condition:
- Success, failed attempt, recovery and interruption labels:
- Objects, tools and allowed task variations:
- Exclusions and handling of invalid episodes:

## 3. Coverage
- Participants, sessions and environments:
- Lighting, objects and camera/mount variation:
- Requested volume, counting unit and minimum accepted coverage per condition:
- Pilot size, review owner and go/no-go decision:
- Train/evaluation split groups to prevent participant/session overlap:

## 4. Capture and signals
- Required views, resolution, frame rate and visibility:
- Required measured signals, units and coordinate frames:
- Permitted estimates and their provenance:
- Timestamps, synchronization method and tolerated residual error:
- Calibration method, frequency and validation:
- Missing-data policy and allowed coverage gaps:

## 5. Annotation and QA
- Annotation definitions, tool/model versions and review protocol:
- Independently labeled subset and evaluation method:
- Acceptance metric, threshold, measurement method and sampling scope:
- Failure handling, rework and rejection terms:
- Known hard cases to include in pilot:

## 6. Rights and delivery
- Contributor authorization and location permissions:
- Privacy exclusions and review responsibilities:
- Requested license and restrictions to review:
- File schema/version, field names, units and example loader:
- Native assets, derived assets, manifests, checksums and dataset card:
- Target delivery date, budget range and acceptance owner:
