Data Collection

Creating multimodal datasets from industrial partners' production environments.

A person wearing a lab coat is inspecting a 3D printer in a modern, well-lit laboratory setting. The room has multiple 3D printers placed on shelves, with visible ventilation ducts and a clean, organized environment. The light from the overhead fixtures and windows highlights the mechanical equipment.
