[Hiring] Commercial Video Collector @Appen

Role Description

Earn up to $280 per week! Help Advance the Future of Physical AI and Robotics!

Project Wisteria is a data collection project designed to support the development of next-generation physical AI and robotics systems through real-world video recordings of everyday tasks in workplace activities.

What You'll Do

• Participants must record themselves in real workplace environments across hospitality, manufacturing, retail, cleaning, and construction settings.
• Activities may include:
  • Food prep, meal prepping, kitchen and cafe operations
  • Assembly lines, packaging, warehouse logistics
  • Stocking shelves, sorting inventory, back-of-house retail
  • Office and commercial building cleaning
  • Installation, repair, and skilled labor tasks

Recording Requirements

• Participants must ensure:
  • Full visibility of arms, hands, and fingers throughout the recording.
  • Tasks are completed naturally and intentionally.
  • No excessive idle time, passive activity, or repetitive motions.
  • Videos are recorded in real home environments such as kitchens, living rooms, and laundry areas.
  • Footage is authentic and not generated, staged in laboratory settings, or artificially created.

Requirements

• Must currently reside in Canada
• Must be at least 18 years old
• Must have a device capable of recording video at 1080p resolution or higher (e.g., smartphone or action camera)
• Must have a dedicated head-mount accessory capable of securely positioning the camera at forehead or eye level
• Must have access to real workplace environments across hospitality, manufacturing, retail, cleaning, and construction settings

Payment Details

• The rate corresponds to the full completion of a 1-hour recording session (i.e., per task (1 hour): for example, Assembly lines, packaging, warehouse logistics as one task) and having at least 98% of the video quality accepted.
• Proportional payment will be made for video under the 1-hour threshold.
• Incomplete sessions will not be compensated.
• A session with a QA score lower than 98% is considered rejected and will not be compensated.
• This project follows a first-come, first-served approach and operates with demographic quotas to ensure fair and balanced representation across participant groups.
• As a result, some individuals may not receive a task assignment if their demographic group has already reached capacity. This helps maintain diversity and prevents over-representation within the project.
• We encourage interested participants to apply as early as possible to maximize their chances of selection.
