These videos will be used to help robotics to learn how to perceive, understand and interact with real-world environments. You will record yourself doing things you already do in your daily life such as folding laundry, making or preparing food, cleaning/tidying up and sorting items, rearranging items etc. If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable performing everyday tasks and earning additional income to contribute to cutting-edge robotics research, we’d love to work with you!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>What to Expect</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Your main goal is to capture <strong>20-40 hours</strong> of footage weekly that shows <strong>clear and intentional arm, hand and finger movements </strong>interacting with objects and your environment (e.g., folding clothes or using a screwdriver), rather than low-value activities like typing, using your phone, or sitting idle.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">On a weekly-basis, you will be required to upload your footage to a Google Drive on a timely basis, perform basic quality checks on recordings, and track your own day-to-day filming progress.&nbsp;</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You will be compensated based off the total number of<strong> </strong><strong>usable footage provided </strong>a monthly-basis.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Examples of unusable footage: footage captured in the dark, footage showing only fingers and not your full hands and arms, footage of idle activities (sitting around, driving, using your phone, watching TV etc.), footage that captures personal information, etc.&nbsp;</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
