The work
You will record video demonstrations of everyday household tasks to help train personal robotics systems. The work takes place in your home and requires careful setup, precise movements, and consistent recording quality.
The duties and qualifications should be reviewed carefully before applying because the role title refers to at-home video recording while the project focuses on personal robotics data collection.
- Set up and use a UMI gripper, VR headset, hand-tracking gloves, and other recording equipment.
- Perform household tasks while capturing high-quality video demonstrations.
- Follow task instructions and detailed recording specifications.
- Upload large video files using a stable, high-speed home internet connection.
- Review feedback from assigned reviewers and improve your recording approach.
- Maintain a consistent weekly workflow that meets approved data requirements.
- Communicate clearly with the project team in writing and verbally.
What it pays and takes
This is a remote contractor opportunity for people based in Japan. Equipment, including the VR headset and wearable hand-tracking gloves, will be shipped at no cost with setup and usage instructions.
- $15 per hour for approved data that meets project specifications.
- Open to candidates based in Japan.
- Professional fluency in English.
- Access to a fully equipped Japanese home with a kitchen, living spaces, and common household items.
