Help Shape the Future of Robotics, Earn Income We are looking for paid participants to record videos of everyday activities at your wearing a head-mounted camera. These videos will be used to help robotics to learn how to perceive, understand and interact with real-world environments. You will record yourself doing things you already do in your daily life such as folding laundry, making or preparing food, cleaning/tidying up and sorting items, rearranging items etc. If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable performing everyday tasks and earning additional income to contribute to cutting-edge robotics research, we’d love to work with you! What to Expect Your main goal is to capture of footage weekly that shows clear and intentional arm, hand and finger movements interacting with objects and your environment (e.g., folding clothes or using a screwdriver), rather than low-value activities like typing, using your phone, or sitting idle. On a weekly-basis, you will be required to upload your footage to a Google Drive on a timely basis, perform basic quality checks on recordings, and track your own day-to-day filming progress. No robotics or technical background is required. You will be compensated based off the total number of usable footage provided a monthly-basis. Examples of unusable footage: footage captured in the dark, footage showing only fingers and not your full hands and arms, footage of idle activities (sitting around, driving, using your phone, watching TV etc.), footage that captures personal information, etc. Project duration will be assessed on a month-to-month basis You are free to film as much task-specific, high quality, usable footage as you want, making this a great way to earn some extra income whilst completing your already day-to-day tasks. Day In the Life Wear your phone via a head strap. Film tasks according to filming best practices Ensure successful recordings, before uploading the files to a drive for submission Get paid! Example Tasks and Video Picking up, placing, and organizing objects Sorting items by size, color, or category Using simple tools (e.g., screwdriver, cloth, utensils) Cleaning or wiping surfaces Assembling or disassembling simple objects Reaching and placing objects at varying distances Sample footage link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p2qpCFdPFIw8o1qx0cgLnp9rn4O-QL-S/view?usp=sharing Who You Are Must have a smartphone with a wide camera (0.5x zoom) that films in 1080p minimum, 30 FPS, a computer + internet connection to upload videos Ability to follow detailed instructions carefully Comfort performing light physical tasks (standing, reaching, grasping objects) Ability to move naturally, slowly, and deliberately during recordings Compensation 💰 $2 USD per hour of footage for the first 10 hrs of footage (for you to warm up) After the 10 hrs, $3 USD per hour of approved video that passes the quality benchmark (footage that follows the specifications in the training document). Bonus 🎯 First 10 hours of video (regardless if approved or not)→ get $10 USD budget/reimbursement for the head gear Next 10 hours of approved video → get $10 USD bonus (1x time) 50 hours of approved video in first month → $20 USD bonu ...
