Job Description

Use Your Hands to Help Train the Next Generation of Robots

Paid, Hands-Only Video Research Project

We are seeking adults to capture first-person videos of their hands picking up, holding, moving, and setting down everyday objects found in their homes.

Participants wear a provided head-mounted camera that points toward their hands and the objects they are handling. Your face and voice are not recorded.

Recording equipment, instructions, and training are provided.

Participation spots are limited.

Time Commitment

Participants must be able to:

• Record for at least 3–5 hours per day
• Begin promptly after completing onboarding
• Record and upload videos consistently
• Commit additional hours when tasks are available

Participants who begin quickly and submit more usable content can earn money faster.

Compensation: Earn Up to $1,450

Compensation includes:

• $25 for each hour of usable video content accepted through quality review
• $25 for each completed batch of video files uploaded

Payment is based on accepted video content—not the total time spent preparing, recording, re-recording, transferring, or uploading files.

Total compensation depends on the amount of assigned content completed, accepted, and uploaded. The $1,450 maximum is not guaranteed.

This is a paid independent research-participant opportunity and is not an offer of employment.

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have a computer and reliable high-speed internet

• Be able to follow detailed instructions
• Be available to record for at least 3–5 hours per day
