## Review object handling.

Follow an object through a complete action. Check whether hands, contact points and the final placement remain visible.

## Separate routines from episodes.

A household routine may contain several tasks. Define episode boundaries around one observable goal, and keep neighboring clips from the same recording together when creating evaluation splits.

## Write a household collection brief.

Specify the rooms, object types, lighting and routine variations you need. Note private areas or information that must stay outside the frame.

## Questions, answered.

What should I inspect in household video?

Check object visibility, task completion and variation in rooms and routines. A recognizable activity is not enough if the key interaction is hidden.

Does household video include robot actions?

Human video shows activity. Robot commands require a separately recorded signal or a documented mapping.

## What should your robot learn next?

Bring the task, setting and signals you need. We’ll work through the collection and annotation requirements with you.
