I am very much looking forward to seeing how things evolve. Do you think the bitter lesson applies here? I am assuming you are gathering reams of data from the controls and any cameras of manually operated machines. I have been thinking about the bitter lesson in many contexts recently and I think for something like this where there really isn't anything proprietary about the method of operation, doing some kind of data consignment agreement or just up front paying for data could be very valuable in and of itself. Even unlabeled data can later be autolabeled.
