Training Data Artificial Intelligence Video Capture Video Encoding

Job description

Record high-quality video demonstrations of everyday household tasks while wearing a UMI gripper, a wearable device that mimics a robot hand. Your recordings will be used as training data to teach personal robots how to perform real-world activities in home environments. Key Responsibilities

  • Capture and submit videos that meet detailed, task-specific project specifications using the UMI gripper wearable device.
  • Set up and operate recording equipment and the UMI gripper so hand movements accurately reflect real-world interactions.
  • Follow precise instructions for each task to ensure recordings comply with rigorous quality standards.
  • Review feedback from assigned reviewers and iteratively improve your recordings to meet quality benchmarks.
  • Communicate clearly and proactively with the project team, both in writing and verbally.

  • Early in the engagement, expect approximately 2 hours of review and iteration work for each 1 hour of approved data. That ratio typically improves with experience, increasing your effective earnings post-calibration.

Eligibility and Equipment Requirements

  • Must be based in Argentina and have reliable access to a fully equipped household environment, including kitchen, living spaces, and common items used in everyday tasks.
  • Stable, high-speed internet capable of uploading large video files from your home is required.
  • Comfort with prolonged use of a VR headset is required, as the role involves extended headset wear.
  • Must be willing and able to wear and operate the UMI gripper and associated recording equipment as directed.

Application Process Apply through the provided application channel. If selected, you will be invited to begin the pilot tasks quickly, typically within 48 hours. Your submitted videos will be reviewed, you will receive feedback from project reviewers, and your compensation rate may be adjusted after a calibration period when quality benchmarks are met.
