Sell robotics and egocentric video data to AI companies: 4 buyers, what they pay, on what terms

The list holds four data buyers for robotics and egocentric video data. Three publish a figure, and two quote an hourly rate. Human Archive pays "$1 per hour (India)". Mindrift pays "up to $20 per hour". Troveo AI quotes "$1 to $4 per minute of video" across its catalog and lists robotics data among its types. Mecka AI says it "pays participants" and publishes no rate.

Two editor's picks open the list. Mecka AI collects egocentric video and human motion from paid participants, per session and on exclusive terms; it reports a run-rate above $100M and a $60M Series B in Oct 2026. Human Archive pays gig workers per hour to record egocentric video, also on exclusive terms. Troveo AI comes third as the one buyer here that licenses non-exclusively.

Three of the four are exclusive. Mecka AI, Human Archive and Mindrift pay for recording time and keep the footage on exclusive terms. In the contract, check who owns the recordings and whether you may reuse them anywhere. Check consent for every person filmed and for private homes or workplaces in frame. Ask whether pay counts recorded hours or accepted hours, and whether the grant covers derivative models.
