About AI Training and Robotics Data Collection

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People collect, annotate, and review real-world examples that help AI systems understand environments, actions, language, and visual information.

In this project, your first-person video will support household robotics training by showing everyday activities from a participant's point of view.

The Role
