VLA

VISION-LANGUAGE-ACTION (VLA) TRAINING DATA

VLA training connects perception to language and action. iMerit delivers trajectory annotation, instruction-action alignment, temporal event labeling, and embodied reasoning data for robotics and autonomous systems.

ANNOTATION CAPABILITIES

DRIVING SESSION COLLECTION

Synchronized multi-camera video paired with natural language task instructions, captured across diverse driving environments and vehicle platforms.

INSTRUCTION-ACTION ALIGNMENT

Verification that a labeled action trajectory actually fulfills its paired language instruction, including verbal interaction with an in-cabin passenger.

ACTION TRAJECTORY LABELING

Steering, braking, and acceleration trajectories labeled frame by frame and aligned to the driving language instruction.

ANGO HUB

MULTI-MODAL ANNOTATION PLATFORM FOR VLA MODELS

VLA training requires synchronized vision, language, and action trajectories. Ango Hub aligns multimodal inputs into structured, model-ready sequences for learning real-world actions.

DRIVING & DEMONSTRATION ANNOTATION

Multi-camera driving footage, verbal narration, and control inputs you provide, synchronized and structured into action sequences a driving policy can train on.

ACTION TOKENIZATION

Continuous steering, throttle, and brake trajectories tokenized into structured, model-ready action sequences the driving policy can act on.

AI-ASSISTED PRE-LABELING

ML-generated initial action labels, reviewed and corrected by domain-trained human annotators, with rare and safety-critical scenarios flagged for priority review.

AUTOMATED QA RULES

Configurable validation checks catch missing action labels, platform mismatches, and instruction-trajectory misalignment before delivery.

DATA CAPABILITIES

Every layer a VLA policy needs to learn from.

Driving session annotation

DRIVING SESSION ANNOTATION

Multi-camera driving footage and natural language task instructions you provide, synchronized and annotated across diverse driving environments and vehicle platforms.

ACTION TRAJECTORY LABELING

Steering, braking, and acceleration trajectories labeled frame by frame and aligned to the driving language instruction.

Instruction action alignment

INSTRUCTION-ACTION ALIGNMENT

Verification that a labeled action trajectory actually fulfills its paired language instruction, including verbal interaction with an in-cabin passenger, catching mismatches before training.
MULTI-PLATFORM-NORMALIZATION

MULTI-PLATFORM NORMALIZATION

Action labeling kept consistent across different vehicle platforms, sensor configurations, and fleet generations so training data transfers as your fleet grows.

TASK SUCCESS & FAILURE LABELING

Structured annotation of whether an action sequence succeeded, partially succeeded, or failed, including recovery behavior.

ACTION PHASE SEGMENTATION

Long-horizon tasks segmented into phases so models learn task structure and intermediate goals, not just final outcomes.

“A VLA model is only as good as the actions it was trained on. Get the trajectory labeling wrong and the model learns the wrong physics.”
– Head of Perception, Autonomous Vehicle Program (Illustrative)

CASE STUDY

VISION-LANGUAGE-ACTION MODEL FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY

The client needed a unique dataset representing human driving styles, rules of the road, and how to interact verbally with passengers, built to a tight demonstration deadline after their prior data provider could not keep up. iMerit’s autonomous vehicle domain experts classified driving conditions, objects, and environmental abnormalities across thousands of real and synthetic scenarios, giving the model what it needed to explain its actions more clearly to the vehicle operator.

WORKFORCE & QUALITY

DOMAIN EXPERTS, NOT CROWD WORKERS

The difference between a model that grounds its actions correctly and one that does not is not tooling. It is whether your annotators understand what a correct action trajectory actually looks like.

FULL-TIME-SALARIED-TEAM

FULL-TIME SALARIED TEAM

Not gig workers. iMerit’s annotators are permanent employees assessed at an 80%+ threshold before going live, and domain-trained on driving action labeling before touching your data.

2-STAGE-QA-WORKFLOW

2-STAGE QA WORKFLOW

Every program runs a dedicated production stage followed by a separate QA review layer. Errors caught before they reach your training pipeline.

STRUCTURED-PILOT-FIRST

STRUCTURED PILOT FIRST

Schema design, team selection, training, and a calibration batch, all before production scale. Quality validated against your acceptance criteria.

ENTERPRISE-SECURITY

ENTERPRISE SECURITY

SOC 2 Type II · ISO 27001 · GDPR compliant. Full audit trails and strict access controls across every program.

Frequently Asked Questions

VLA training requires synchronized triplets of vision, language instruction, and action trajectory grounded in a specific vehicle, not just labeled video. iMerit annotates the demonstration, instruction, and action data structured specifically for control, not captioning.

We annotate multi-camera driving footage, language instructions, and control inputs your team provides, including steering, braking, and acceleration trajectories labeled frame by frame and aligned to the driving decision.

iMerit annotates data your team already has. We can help source additional data in select cases, though that is not a core part of our service. Annotation of the footage and demonstrations you provide is where we add the most value.

Action labeling is kept consistent across different vehicle platforms, sensor configurations, and fleet generations, so training data transfers as your fleet grows or your program spans multiple vehicle types.

Ango Hub manages action-trajectory labeling, instruction alignment, and QA in one governed workflow, with role-based access, built-in review steps, and exports aligned to your training and evaluation pipeline.
