What these videos are for
The goal is to collect first-person video of everyday household activities in real residential environments. These videos are used to train humanoid robots and AI systems to understand and replicate household tasks.
!
Privacy guaranteed: Participants' faces must not be visible at any point during recording. This includes reflections in mirrors and photos of people.
Where you record
The recording environment must be a home with modern appliances and accessories. It can be your own home or a friend's or family member's, as long as it meets the requirements.
- Kitchen, with modern appliances and visible utensils.
- Bedroom, tidy, with bed linen and furniture.
- Living room, with furniture, decorative objects, sofas.
- Bathroom, with hygiene products and accessories.
How to mount your phone
The phone must be mounted on your head with a head mount strap, at forehead or eye level, with the camera pointing downward approximately 45 degrees.
- Smartphone on head mount strap, at forehead or eye level.
- Camera pointing downward, approximately 45° angle.
- Arms and hands fully visible, at all times during the activity.
- DO NOT hold the phone with your hand — both hands must be free.
- DO NOT rest the phone on a surface — it must always be on your head.

If you don't have a head mount strap, you can find one cheaply on Amazon or any online store (around $10–20 USD). Any phone head strap compatible with a GoPro-style mount will work.

!
DO NOT use 1× zoom or higher. Set zoom to 0.5× or 0.6× before you start recording. If your hands aren't clearly visible, the zoom is wrong.
Keep your hands in frame
- Position the camera slightly downward to keep your hands visible when interacting with objects.
- Make sure your arms and hands are visible throughout the entire task.
- It's acceptable for only one hand to be visible if the task only requires one.
- You can move your head naturally when walking or changing rooms.
- No sudden or jerky movements — the video must be smooth and natural.
- Do not block the camera with your body or clothing.
Capture the full action
When you introduce an object during recording, make sure to capture the full interaction. Each action must include the following complete sequence:

How each cycle works
Only videos approved (Ok in QC) within the cycle's window are paid. The cutoff is 2 days before payday so QC has time to review.
- May 20 payday → covers videos approved between May 4 and May 18
- June 5 payday → covers videos approved between May 19 and June 3
- June 20 payday → covers videos approved between June 4 and June 18
If your video is approved after the cutoff, it's not lost — it falls into the next cycle.
Payment: USDT on the BEP-20 (BNB Chain) network
- You'll be paid in USDT (Tether stablecoin, 1 USDT = 1 USD) on the BEP-20 (BNB Chain) network — fast confirmations, fees under $0.30.
- Create a wallet that supports BEP-20 — Binance, Trust Wallet, Coins.ph, or any wallet that supports BNB Chain. Free to set up.
- Give us your wallet address — it starts with
0xand is exactly 42 characters. On Binance: Deposit → USDT → choose BEP-20 network → copy the address. - You'll receive your USDT directly to that wallet on each payday and can convert to your local currency inside the wallet/exchange app.
!
Critical: we only accept USDT on the BEP-20 (BNB Chain) network. Sending on any other network (TRC-20, ERC-20, Polygon, Solana…) results in permanent loss of funds — there is no way to recover them. Always confirm the BEP-20 network when generating your receive address.
