Collectors
Robots learn from people at work
1618 Robotics records how real tasks are done: first-person video, filmed by the people doing them. Collectors wear a phone on a head strap while they work, at their job or at home. Every clip is checked, and every accepted hour is paid. We open a few places at a time: join the waitlist and we will contact you when there is work for you.
