Remote Household Data Specialist for Video Capture

Capture high-quality video demonstrations of everyday household tasks using a UMI gripper wearable device, producing training data that helps personal robots learn to operate in real homes. This is a remote contractor role targeted to candidates based in Vietnam, and it requires reliable access to a fully equipped Philippine household environment. The work involves wearing and operating specialized devices, including prolonged use of a VR headset, and following detailed recording specifications.

• Set up and operate recording equipment and the UMI gripper to accurately mimic real-world hand movements during tasks.
• Follow detailed, task-specific instructions and maintain precision and consistency across recordings.
• Review feedback provided by assigned reviewers, make iterative improvements to your recordings, and resubmit as required to meet quality benchmarks.
• Communicate proactively and clearly with the project team, both in writing and verbally.
• Maintain a consistent weekly workflow to meet the project’s minimum approved data requirements.

• Keen attention to detail and ability to follow complex specifications precisely.
• Manual dexterity and experience performing precise physical tasks in varied household environments.
