🤖 Help Shape the Future of Robotics & Earn Income
We are looking for paid participants to record videos of everyday activities while wearing a head-mounted camera. Your recordings will help robotics systems learn to perceive, understand, and interact with real-world environments.
You’ll record yourself doing tasks you already do in daily life, such as:
- Folding laundry
- Preparing or cooking food
- Cleaning, tidying, or organizing items
- Rearranging or sorting objects
Participants may or may not be assigned specific tasks, depending on project needs.
If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable performing everyday tasks, and want to earn additional income while contributing to cutting-edge robotics research, we’d love to work with you!
🎬 What to Expect
- Weekly footage goal: Capture at least 10 hours of clear, intentional arm, hand, and finger movements interacting with objects (e.g., folding clothes, using a screwdriver).
Avoid low-value activities such as typing, using your phone, or sitting idle. - Uploads & quality checks: Upload videos to Google Drive on time, perform basic quality checks, and track your daily filming progress.
- Compensation: Paid based on total usable footage
Unusable footage includes dark videos, clips showing only fingers (not full hands/arms), idle activities, or videos capturing personal information. - Project duration: Month-to-month, giving you flexibility
👉 Film as much high-quality, task-specific footage as you want—earn extra income while completing everyday tasks!
