What this opportunity involves
What a physical AI data collector records in United States
In United States, a physical AI data collector films approved task footage used for robotics and physical AI data workflows in settings such as home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas. U.S. briefs run across multiple metros nationwide rather than a single region, with review windows set in your local time zone. Strong submissions show setup, task motion, object state changes, and completion clearly enough for the TrueLabel collector QA team to review.
Core responsibilities for physical AI data collectors in United States
This role is defined by a specific set of capture habits: capture full multi-step routines from start to a clear finished state, keep object handling continuous so each step flows into the next, record realistic, repeatable sequences rather than staged one-off shots, and preserve raw footage so the full routine is available for review. Each is checked during review, so practising them before you submit keeps your acceptance rate high. In United States, you apply these habits in home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas.
What gets accepted versus reshot in United States
Footage is accepted when the routine runs from start to finished state without skipped steps, object handling stays continuous and clearly visible across steps, and footage is raw and represents a realistic, repeatable task. It is sent back or rejected when the routine is cut short or skips steps in the sequence, object handling drifts out of frame between steps, and staged or unrealistic motions that would not transfer to a robot. Accepted United States work pays $18-$24 per approved hour of usable footage, reviewed by the TrueLabel collector QA team usually within 2 business days of upload. Payouts settle in USD by ACH direct deposit to your U.S. bank account; you complete W-9 tax onboarding and add your account during setup, then accepted work is paid through the twice-weekly queue.
How TrueLabel matches physical AI data collectors in United States
For a physical AI data collector, the setup that matters most is concrete: use a recent smartphone or approved wearable/action camera at 1080p/30fps minimum and keep the camera positioned to follow the whole routine continuously.

Your profile should also list location, language, available mounts, recording environment, and weekly availability so TrueLabel can match you to eligible work. Briefs are provided in English only. The U.S. spans multiple zones; you confirm your local time during onboarding and each brief shows its review window accordingly.
What makes a submission review-ready in United States
The single most common rejection is a routine that is cut short before reaching a clear finished state.

Test your framing on a short clip before recording the real take. In United States that review happens against home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas, with the TrueLabel collector QA team returning outcomes usually within 2 business days of upload.
