Repeatable
The same task, performed many times by several licensed contributors, so models see both consistency and individual technique.
The Lab
The Capture Lab
Alongside field capture, Talos runs bench cells and full-scale mock-up bays (panels, rough-ins, condensers, cabinetry) where tradespeople repeat tasks under controlled conditions.
Why capture in a lab
Controlled
Consistent fixtures and lighting, a fixed operator camera, and per-session calibration of every fingertip-pressure channel against a reference load cell.
Safe and private
De-energized equipment, no customer property and no bystanders, so recordings need minimal redaction.
Field and lab, side by side
| Field capture | Lab capture | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Real homes, shops and job sites | Talos bench cells and mock-up bays |
| Variation | High: every site is different | Controlled and repeatable |
| Paperwork | Electrician Agreement, business sign-off, property consent, crew releases | Electrician Agreement; no property consent or crew releases |
| Cameras | Head and wrist cameras | Head and wrist cameras plus a fixed operator view |
| Best for | Robustness to real-world conditions | High-volume, consistent demonstrations |
