We are seeking U.S.-based experts to help collect synchronized IMU and video data via smartphones, contributing to next-generation machine learning models. If you are passionate about robotics, detail-oriented, and thrive on consistent, high-quality output, this opportunity is for you.
Key Responsibilities
Capture precise motion data using your smartphone’s sensor suite (IMU) during specified physical tasks. Supported devices include the iPhone 11 and later, Google Pixel 6 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S21 and later. Record synchronized video footage to validate and enhance the integrity of collected sensor data. Follow detailed technical protocols to ensure all submissions meet strict quality, labeling, and determinism standards. Consistently contribute a minimum of 10 hours of approved video data per week throughout the project duration. Communicate effectively with the team to clarify guidelines and provide feedback on data collection processes. Ensure timely and reliable delivery of data outputs in accordance with project milestones. Participate in required device compatibility checks and a custom AI-enabled interview process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the others?
Global Access. Micro1 is more open to international applicants (outside the US/UK) than DataAnnotation or Outlier.
What is the catch?
Privacy. Micro1 projects often require you to install time-tracking software that takes screenshots of your desktop while you work to ensure you are actually working. If you are uncomfortable with monitoring software, this might not be for you.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the interview like?
You will likely be screened by "Zara", an AI recruiter. Treat this like a real video interview—speak clearly, ensure you have good lighting, and be ready to answer technical questions verbally, as the transcript is reviewed by human managers.
