AI Video Data Collection Contributor (Work from Home)

Project Overview

SoftAge AI is recruiting participants for Project ROBO 2, an AI data collection initiative focused on capturing first-person point-of-view (egocentric) videos in home environments.

The collected data will support the development of Robotics AI, Embodied AI, Human Action Understanding, and Multimodal AI systems.

Application Form (Mandatory)

Project ROBO 2 - Egocentric Video Data Collection — SoftAge AI

• The phone must be securely mounted on the forehead using a head strap.
• Recordings must be captured from a first-person POV (egocentric perspective).
• The camera angle should be approximately 45° downward.
• Hands must remain visible throughout the activity.
• Toes should be visible while standing still.
• Each recording session must be a minimum of 2 minutes.
• Activities should be performed naturally and realistically.
• Only standing or walking activities are permitted; seated recordings are not allowed.

1. Collect egocentric first-person POV video footage in home related environments, capturing realistic and task-focused activities.
2. Record videos using a stable head-mounted or glasses-mounted camera setup.
3. Capture continuous and identifiable tasks such as cooking, cleaning, assembling, repairing, sorting, maintenance, gardening, or organizing activities.
4. Ensure each recording has stable POV, clear task flow, natural activity, accurate metadata, and no extended idle time or unclear transitions.
5. Avoid rejected footage, including shaky videos, staged or unnatural activity, incorrect camera placement, poor descriptions, wrong environment tagging, or unclear tasks.
