Human Archive is a multimodal data lab building the Common Crawl for human sensorimotor intelligence. The company collects and labels egocentric (first-person) video and sensor data of humans performing physical tasks, then sells curated datasets to frontier labs and robotics companies training embodied AI systems. Workers wear custom camera-equipped headsets and sensor rigs capturing how human hands and bodies perform real-world tasks across environments such as homes, restaurants, construction sites, and factories. The platform can collect up to 8,000 hours of data per day through a network of 1,000+ custom hardware devices. Founded in 2026 by UC Berkeley and Stanford students as part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch.
