Where did it go?
Find the last recorded sighting of a tool with its time, camera, and source frame.
A shared memory for physical work · HackUTD 2026
Work changes hands. Small adjustments get forgotten. Tools move. Anytime turns what a team sees into a searchable record with the original evidence attached.
The source frame stays attached so someone else can check the observation.
In robotics meetings, we often spend more time looking for something or figuring out what changed than solving the problem in front of us. The same gap appears in maintenance teams, factories, and data centers.
Find the last recorded sighting of a tool with its time, camera, and source frame.
Review an equipment timeline across people and shifts instead of reconstructing it from memory.
Bring the next worker up to speed with observations they can inspect and correct.
How it works
Anytime organizes short visual observations into a shared timeline. Every useful claim points back to the frame that produced it.
Worker cameras sample the physical work as it happens.
Object detection tracks important tools; a vision model drafts descriptions of visible actions.
A central server combines camera records into individual and team timelines.
Workers search across shifts and inspect the evidence behind an answer.

An answer is only useful if the team can see what it came from. These sample questions show how a shared record could help.

The prototype
The current project combines an edge capture agent, visual reasoning, a tool labeling workflow, and a searchable team timeline. The same structure can describe a robotics workshop or an industrial site.
