Data collection
Robotics Household Data Collection
Record everyday household tasks such as washing dishes, folding laundry, and organising shelves using a head-mounted camera, under strict consent and privacy rules.
What this project is
Next-generation household robots learn by watching how people actually do chores. In this project you record yourself performing ordinary tasks (washing dishes, doing laundry, folding clothes, wiping surfaces, organising objects) with a wearable camera kit. Every recording follows consent-first privacy rules, is quality-reviewed by our team, and is approved by the client before it counts. You choose which tasks to record and when; your home is never live-streamed and you can delete a session before submitting it.
What you may record
- Ordinary household tasks: washing dishes, doing laundry, folding clothes
- Cleaning, wiping surfaces, sweeping, and organising shelves or drawers
- Moving everyday household objects between rooms
- Meal preparation steps that do not show identifiable faces
What must never be recorded
- Children, visitors, or any person who has not consented
- Documents, letters, ID cards, bank cards, or screens with personal data
- Bathrooms, prayer areas, or any space you consider private
- Anything you would not be comfortable showing a stranger
Example tasks
- Record a full dish-washing session from setup to drying rack
- Fold a basket of laundry on a table, both sides visible
- Organise a kitchen shelf, placing items by category
- Wipe and reset a dining table after a meal
Review process
Every session passes two reviews: a privacy review (consent, framing, nothing sensitive in view) and a quality review (task completeness, camera stability, lighting). Only sessions that pass both are sent for client approval and payment.
Eligibility
- 18 or older with completed identity verification
- Private household space where you can record safely
- Consent from every adult in the household
- Smartphone with a good camera (wearable kit provided for scale phases)
- Completed Robotics Recording Privacy and Safety training
Home suitability checklist
- A private space where you can record without interruptions
- Consent from every adult in the household, every session
- Good, even lighting in the recording area
- A quick sweep to remove sensitive items before each session
Equipment
- Smartphone with a good camera to start
- Chest or head mount (kit provided in scale phases)
- Stable internet for uploading sessions
Consent and privacy rules
Consent-first: every adult consents before recording, children and visitors never appear, and sensitive items (documents, screens, medicines) must be out of frame. You review every clip before submitting, and you can request deletion of any clip from your Privacy Centre.
Training required
3 modules must be passed before assignment. Training is free and quizzes can be retaken.
Pay: Per approved session; rates shown on each task before you start.
