This data is essential for training the next generation of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, helping robots learn to perceive and interact with the physical world by capturing real-world human interactions and precision robotic movements. Key Responsibilities • Egocentric Data Collection: Wear designated head-mounted recording devices (e.g., smartphone rigs, GoPro, or head-mounted VR kits) to capture daily or industrial tasks from a first-person perspective in diverse environments (home, retail, or manufacturing). • VR Teleoperation: Operate robotic systems via VR interfaces to perform complex manipulation tasks. Ensure high-quality capture of multi-modal data, including joint states, torques, and gripper status, while maintaining low-latency execution. • Technical Specification Compliance: Maintain strict recording standards (1080p, 30FPS, horizontal orientation, FOV >130°). Ensure accurate extraction of camera intrinsic parameters and time-synchronization across all sensors. • Quality Assurance & Pre-processing: Conduct initial self-inspections to filter out clips with excessive shaking, occlusions, or focus failures. Ensure data is correctly formatted (e.g., MCAP, HDF5) and uploaded according to protocol. Basic Qualifications: • Experience: 0–1 years of experience. Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field. • Extreme Attention to Detail: Ability to strictly follow complex technical guidelines regarding framing, motion rhythm, and lighting environments. • Technical Proficiency: Comfortable using smartphones, VR hardware (Meta Quest/HTC Vive), and various digital accessories. Basic understanding of video recording parameters and calibration. • Action Consistency: Ability to perform tasks naturally while maintaining the specific "robotic-friendly" pacing required for imitation learning.
