Review and annotate videos of robots, machines, tools, and mechanical systems, using your engineering judgment to identify movement and component details. This contractor role pays $50 to $90 per hour and requires at least two years of related experience.
The Work
You will review video footage of robots, mechanical systems, tools, machines, components, and physical tasks. Your annotations will help AI systems understand what objects do, how parts move, and how tasks unfold.
You will work independently, follow project instructions, and provide clear feedback when a video or annotation is difficult to interpret.
- Review footage showing robotic systems, mechanical components, tools, machines, and physical interactions.
- Annotate objects, movements, actions, components, positioning, mechanical interactions, and task sequences.
- Identify details about motion, component behavior, and how mechanical parts and systems interact.
- Check annotations for accuracy, consistency, completeness, and alignment with project standards.
- Flag incorrect or unclear annotations using your mechanical engineering judgment.
- Give clear feedback on difficult or ambiguous video examples.

About AI Training Work
AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including labeled video showing objects, actions, and movement. People with practical engineering knowledge are paid to spot details and errors that general reviewers may miss.
