Home Activity Data Collection
About the Role
We are building one of the world’s largest Vision-Language-Action (VLA) datasets to train next-generation humanoid robots .
As part of this initiative, we are onboarding Generalist Contributors who can record short, first-person (POV) videos of everyday household activities using a smartphone. These videos help robotic models better understand human actions, object interaction, and task flow.
Important Note:
This is a separate opportunity from any other micro1 projects.
If you are already selected or onboarded for another micro1 project, you may safely ignore this role
In this role, you will record 1–15 minute first-person videos of simple household tasks using a head-mounted smartphone.
Your face will never appear in the videos—only your hands and actions.
Example Tasks
Putting items away
Cleaning a small surface
Organizing a limited area
Preparing or storing food
Completing a simple household task from start to finish
These recordings will be used to train AI systems to understand real-world human behaviour.
Key Responsibilities
Record stable and clear POV (first-person) videos of household activities
Ensure proper framing, lighting, and camera angle
Maintain natural and realistic task execution
Upload recorded videos via micro1’s internal platform
