Help Shape the Future of Robotics, Earn Income

We’re looking for paid participants to record everyday activities in our Menlo Park lab using a multi-camera setup (head, chest, and wrist-mounted cameras). Your recordings will help train robots to better understand and interact with the real world.

No technical experience required, just your time, attention to detail and willingness to follow simple instructions.

This is a part-time, office-based role requiring presence to record on a consistent schedule for up to 5 days a week at our Menlo office.

What to Expect

Flexible scheduling - come in at least 3–5 times per week based on your availability
A typical arrangement is 3x a week, filming for 3-6 hours
Each session involves recording structured, guided tasks
No robotics or technical background needed
Project runs month-to-month based on performance and availability
Simple setup: just arrive, record and get paid

Day In the Life

You’ll record yourself performing common, everyday tasks such as:

Picking up, placing, stacking, and organizing objects
Sorting items by size, color, or category
Using simple tools (e.g., scissors, screwdriver, utensils)
Cleaning, wiping, or tidying surfaces
Folding laundry or arranging items
Reaching for and placing objects at different distances
