Requirements

What does appliance repair data need?

01

A named repair sequence

Opening, testing components, replacing a part and reassembling are different steps, so a spec names each one and the appliance it runs on.

02

A stated appliance set

The catalog row says appliance and no more, so the spec says which kinds of appliance, and which faults, your policy needs.

03

Hands, tools and the open appliance in view

A head-mounted view or a multiview rig keeps the hands, the tool and the opened appliance in frame through the whole sequence.

04

Step boundaries on the same clock

Frame-accurate action segments mark where opening ends, where testing becomes replacement and where reassembly begins.

05

Rights you can ship on

A perpetual, buyer-owned commercial license backed by a documented consent chain.

Why it matters

What is egocentric appliance repair data, and why does it need its own page?

Egocentric appliance repair data is real-world video of the physical hand work of repairing an appliance: taking it apart, testing its components, swapping the faulty part and putting it back together. It is recorded against a written spec, with the streams the site states for its custom collections.

The electronics and device repair page lists the Appliance repair row as one of several repair rows and gives it one paragraph. This page centres that single row and the neighbouring rows it is often confused with. It describes task video only, and it makes no brand, model, fault-diagnosis accuracy, electrical-safety or certification claim.

Catalog row

Which catalog row covers appliance repair?

One row. "Appliance repair" sits in the Repair Shop environment, under the Repair Services sector. The catalog describes it as: open the appliance, test components, replace the faulty part and reassemble. It is rated Hard and listed as Available on request, so its timeline is quoted against your spec.

The row lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as the capture mode. The environment examples include an appliance workshop alongside electronics repair, a bicycle shop, shoe repair, watch repair and furniture restoration. The catalog gives one line for the row, and the steps inside that line are set by your spec.

The difference

How does it differ from neighbouring repair rows?

The Electronics repair row reads "Open the device, diagnose the fault, replace the screen, battery or board and test," and the Device Repair row covers phones, laptops, tablets and consumer electronics. The appliance row names testing components and reassembling instead, and it does not name a diagnosis step or a screen, battery or board. Watch repair, Bicycle repair, Shoe repair and Furniture restoration are separate rows in the same environment.

Trade rows are separate listings too. The On-Site Home Repair environment lists an HVAC service call, and the Trade Service Calls environment lists HVAC equipment installation. Neither is an appliance repair row. The site lists no catalog row for installing a household appliance, so ask for it in the spec if you need it.

Streams

What does an appliance repair episode record?

Firsthand custom collections record ten hardware-synchronized streams aligned under 2 ms, with head and wrist RGB, depth, 3D hand pose with a per-joint visibility flag, contact and grasp events and frame-accurate action segments. The one language label the site states is a task instruction for each episode.

Standard capture is cameras, depth and IMU. A separate glove tier records a tactile signal, and the site does not state whether it applies to this row. Appliance types, tools, test equipment and whether force or tactile data are needed are therefore settled in the spec.

Privacy

How are people, faces and screens handled?

Every episode links to a signed contributor release through a documented consent chain, and the consent record is part of the delivery. Faces, plates and screens are detected and irreversibly blurred at ingest, and a reviewer confirms the result before anything ships. Footage with bystanders who cannot be de-identified is discarded.

That is the whole of the privacy wording the site states. It does not state a rule for appliance owners, a customer home or data stored on a smart appliance, so this page makes no such claim. Raise it in the spec if it matters.

Fast · on demand

How fast can a custom appliance repair dataset be collected?

Where coverage is already deep, the first validated batch lands in a median of 48 hours from signed spec. Thin environments typically take three to four weeks, because vetting operators there is the bottleneck, and we quote that up front. The site does not state which of the two applies to this row.

You describe the appliances, faults and sequence your policy needs, and we turn that into a written spec covering tasks, environments, capture tier, annotation depth and accept criteria. A Spec Pilot, a small and fast first batch, can prove the spec before you scale. Billing is per validated hour, a reject log ships with every batch, and rejected items are recaptured at our cost.

At a glance

What you get.

Every collection runs through the same seven-stage end-to-end custom collection pipeline. End-to-end custom data collection is a managed service that takes an AI data need from problem to owned dataset in a single accountable pipeline.

Catalog rows

Which catalog rows name appliance repair, and which are neighbours?

The appliance row as listed in the task catalog, with the environment, description, skill rating and status, then the nearest repair rows shown only to mark where the appliance row ends. The first five rows list a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as capture mode.

Streams and tasks

How do the stated streams map to appliance repair tasks?

The streams the site states for Firsthand custom collections, set against what each carries in an appliance repair episode. Row-by-row stream coverage for each capture mode is confirmed in the spec.

FAQ

Appliance repair robot training data, answered.

What is egocentric appliance repair data?
Video of the hand work of repairing an appliance: opening it, testing its components, replacing the faulty part and reassembling it, captured with a head-mounted phone or multiview rig against a written spec.
Which catalog row does the site state for this?
One. "Appliance repair" in the Repair Shop environment, under Repair Services, rated Hard and Available on request. It lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as capture mode.
Which appliances and faults are covered?
The site does not say. The catalog row names appliance only, and appliance types, brands, models and faults are defined in the written spec.
Does the data include diagnosis accuracy or safety claims?
No. The site states no brand, model, fault-diagnosis accuracy, electrical-safety or certification claim for this row, and this page makes none. It describes task video only.
How is this different from electronics and device repair data?
That page covers the Device Repair and Electronics repair rows, which name phones, laptops, tablets, consumer electronics and a diagnosis step. This page centres the single Appliance repair row, which names testing components and reassembling.
How fast can a custom dataset be collected?
From a signed spec to a first validated batch, a median of 48 hours where coverage is deep and three to four weeks where it is thin. The site does not say which applies to this row, so ask when you request the quote.
