About the role
Role Overview
We are building real-world datasets used to train robotics systems. This role involves participating in structured data capture sessions designed to generate high-quality training data for embodied AI systems. Participants will follow guided protocols to perform a variety of physical tasks and record themselves at home using simple setup instructions we provide. This is an opportunity to contribute directly to the development of Physical AI from the comfort of your own home.
What You’ll Do
- Participate in structured data capture sessions by recording yourself at home
- Perform a range of everyday interaction and manipulation tasks following detailed video recording protocols
- Set up a simple home recording environment as instructed
- Follow detailed instructions to ensure consistency across all recordings
- Help maintain organized data capture workflows (uploading videos, labeling, etc.)
- Work independently while staying aligned with the team’s data quality standards
Who You Are
We are primarily looking for individuals interested in robotics, AI, and embodied intelligence. Individuals involved in robotics labs, manipulation research, or control work are especially encouraged to apply. No travel required — all sessions are self-recorded at your own home. Anyone with access to a suitable space at home (kitchen, living room, or similar) and a smartphone or basic camera is welcome to apply.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to follow structured protocols carefully
- Reliability and consistency across repeated tasks
- Interest in robotics and physical AI systems
- Availability for scheduled data capture sessions
- Basic ability to record video and upload files
- Previous robotics experience is helpful but not required.
Additional Details
- Small, selective cohort
- Multi-session participation preferred
- All equipment needed is minimal (smartphone + basic household items)
- Clear instructions and support will be provided for home setup and recording
Participants will contribute to datasets used to advance robotics research — all from home.
