We are looking for individuals to help collect first-person (egocentric) video data to support the training of next-generation humanoid robots.
This project involves performing simple everyday household activities while wearing a smartphone, GoPro, or recording glasses mounted on your head using a headband or mount (detailed instructions will be provided).
This is a one-time project, with potential for repeat work based on video quality and compliance.

Can be your own home or a family/friend’s home (if it meets requirements)
⚠️ Task lists below are examples only.
🧰 Example Task Areas
🍳 Kitchen tasks
🛏️ Bedroom tasks
🛋️ Living room tasks
🧰 General household tasks
Natural interaction with your environment
📌 Important
All recordings must be done with a smartphone, GoPro, or recording glasses mounted at head level
Handheld, tripod, or surface-mounted recordings are NOT allowed
A true first-person (egocentric) perspective is mandatory

Used only for AI research and humanoid robot training
This project does not involve surveillance or hidden recording
⏱️ Time Commitment & Payment Structure
4 hours of actual video recording data required
Up to 8 hours total allocated (includes preparation, setup, and review)
Payment will be made as a fixed-price milestone covering a total of 8 hours of work and will be released after successful Quality Control (QC) validation
✅ Quality Check (QC) Policy
