From huge assembly lines to the smallest autonomous mobile robot (AMR), we help power and train robotics AI by delivering high-quality data annotations quickly, accurately, and ethically.
We support complex workflows with the ability to load up to 14 sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, radar and ultrasonic sensors, as well as support multiple point-clouds. We also help make your data cleaner through SLAM algorithms to augment your sensors, accumulated point clouds and global coordinate conversion in addition to camera shutter and ego motion compensation. Our custom intensity points visualization enables our team to identify objects more clearly, providing more precise annotations quicker.
We excel at even the most complex workflows—supporting up to 14 sensors, high density of objects, and 2D object detection across video sequences at scale. Our ML assisted extrapolation and preprocessing systems—combined with our expert human-in-the-loop workforce—allow us to deliver highly accurate annotations, faster.
A unique combination of human expertise and fine-tuned automation enables us to provide high-quality annotations across long sequences of frames (e.g. several minutes of assembly line footage).
We rely on our proprietary algorithms and preprocessing systems to accurately track objects, then overlay human expertise to deliver precise annotations across medium sequences at scale.
Sama provides high-quality annotations for image and video data resulting from IoT-connected smart cameras, drones, satellite imagery, and other computer vision applications of infrastructure monitoring. Detect maintenance problems and safety concerns—all with a higher degree of accuracy and at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) powered by the highest-quality annotation solutions.
High-quality training data for (de-)palletization systems reduces the time to implementation. For example, a dark line in a pallet could be between two boxes, or it could be between two flaps of one box. While it’s easy for a human to see the difference, a poorly trained system would struggle. Annotating these two similar, but distinct, pieces of data accurately the first time means smart systems are a step ahead from the beginning.
Our model validation solutions provide deep visibility into performance and offer actionable insights to improve model predictions. Our team of experts reviews predictions, identifying false positives or negatives along with inaccurate predictions to highlight weaknesses. When gaps are exposed, we recommend the type of data needed to correct them. This includes validation for model predictions across 360° multi-sensors to ensure you hit KPIs before shipping your model to production.
When integrating cobots into manufacturing and production, you can save time and money by training them on high-quality annotations on smaller datasets. For large datasets, Sama’s skilled, in-house annotators proactively identify gaps in your data—avoiding delays in launching cobots due to missed use cases.
Optimizing your quality control process, increases accuracy while optimizing operational efficiency and reducing labor costs. Sama’s expert workforce and advanced 2D and 3D image annotation tools classify defects with high accuracy, minimizing the risk of recall and allowing manufacturers to halt production lines only when absolutely necessary.
Sama delivers high quality annotations to help accurately and quickly identify functional flaws, defects, or contaminants — at scale. Advanced annotation tools help to accurately detect and classify product labels and packaging to improve throughput and minimize the risk of recall.
Accelerate your model development with our advanced 3D technologies, including: SLAM algorithms to augment your sensors; custom intensity points visualization; accumulated point clouds; egomotion compensation; pre-annotation; and global coordinates conversions. We easily load up to 14 cameras and multiple point-clouds from multi-LiDAR, radar, and/or ultrasonic sensors.
Our proactive approach minimizes delays while maintaining quality to help teams and models hit their milestones. All of our solutions are backed by SamaAssure™, the industry’s highest quality guarantee for ADAS, AV, and Generative AI. We start with a 95% written quality guarantee for every project but can guarantee up to 99.5%—regardless of complexity or scale.
SamaIQ™ combines the expertise of the industry’s best specialists with deep industry knowledge and proprietary algorithms to deliver faster insights and reduce the likelihood of unwanted biases and other privacy or compliance vulnerabilities.
SamaHub™, our collaborative project space, is designed for enhanced communication. Clients have access to collaboration workflows, self-service sampling and complete reporting to track their project’s progress.
We offer a variety of integration options, including APIs, CLIs, and webhooks that allow you to seamlessly connect our platform to your existing workflows. The Sama API is a powerful tool that allows you to programmatically query the status of projects, post new tasks to be done, receive results automatically, and more. We also offer custom engineering to integrate deeply into your custom APIs and workflows.
Beyond computer vision, Sama’s Supervised Fine Tuning service for LLMs helps improve in-cabin safety and experience with better voice commands, and unlocks other multi-modal AI experiences such as vision + audio, or gestures + voice. We can also layer voice + sentiment analysis to detect changes in tone which affect meaning.

Once you have a trained team, it pays off because they know what to look for. Some objects just blend into the background in images, so you need a trained eye to spot them.

The quality of a model's training data can make or break a model: flawed data yields unreliable AI. The biases, errors, or gaps that exist in the training data will be reflected in the model outputs. Model validation helps identify issues early on, before they result in downstream impacts to production.
Sama provides ML Professionals and AI team Leads with an indispensable solution for Computer Vision data labeling.
