1
A light headband
Your phone clips in at eye level, camera looking down at your hands. Nothing to hold, nothing to aim.

Ordinary tasks
Fold clothes, set a table, sort a drawer, tighten a screw. A few minutes each, at home, when it suits you.

What is the job?

You wear your phone on a light headband and do everyday tasks with your hands: folding clothes, kitchen work, tidying, simple tool tasks. The phone records what you see. These first-person recordings teach robots how human hands do real work, for Verlet Robotics.

Do I need experience?

No. The training in your portal shows you everything, and you record a practice hour before you start.

Where do I work?

Mostly at home, at a table or in the rooms you told us about. You need good light and a little space.

Can I choose my tasks?

Tasks are set for each day. You follow the day's list rather than picking your own.

Is there a minimum?

There is no fixed shift: record when it suits you, around school, work or business. To keep your place active, record a few hours every week.

How much will I earn?

KES 175 for every hour you record, paid weekly. It is extra income on the side: an hour in the evening is KES 175, and a 3-hour weekend morning is KES 525.
