For robotics companies
Your robot, policy or vehicle put through set tasks and scored.
People run your robot, policy or vehicle through set tasks, score each attempt against a written standard, and record how and where it fails, before a release and while it runs in the field.
Who it is for
Robot makers and robot-model labs releasing new policies, and fleets that need regular checks of robots on customer sites.
Where and with what
At your site with your robots, or remotely where your robots can be run that way, on the task suite and scoring sheet we agree first.
How every batch is checked
Scores are checked across testers on repeated trials, so the same attempt gets the same score; disagreements are reviewed before results reach you.
The market we staff from
How many people want this work
8 open roles of this kind at 5 employers, read from their own job boards every day, and 5 applications to them through us in the last 30 days. People who want this work come to us to find it, and they are who a project is staffed from.
What it costs
Priced per hour of work, from what the market pays
Per hour of work: the worker's rate for that kind of work plus our fee for running the project, quoted for each project. We set the worker's rate from the market, because we read the posted pay of every open robot training job every day, so you pay what that work costs today, not a guess. The quote shows the worker's rate and our fee separately, and a paid pilot (one kind of task, one site or one set of recordings, with as many people as the work needs) is priced below our usual fee.
How it works
From your brief to delivered data
Tell us the data you need
The robot or the task, the kind of data (teleoperation, filmed demonstrations, first-person capture, labels), how much, where and by when. A short chat or an email will do.
We plan it with our own people
Who we would put on it and how we assessed them, how each recording or label is checked, and a first batch with the acceptance standard in writing.
A paid pilot
One kind of task, one site or one set of recordings, with as many people as the work needs, done and checked against the agreed standard, so you judge real data before committing to more.
Work runs, gets checked, gets delivered
With your robots and tools or with ours, reviewed before it reaches you, delivered and invoiced on your schedule, with one contact for the whole project.

Questions
What teams ask us
How is robot evaluation priced?
Per hour of work: the worker's rate for that kind of work plus our fee for running the project, quoted for each project. We set the worker's rate from the market, because we read the posted pay of every open robot training job every day, so you pay what that work costs today, not a guess. The quote shows the worker's rate and our fee separately, and a paid pilot (one kind of task, one site or one set of recordings, with as many people as the work needs) is priced below our usual fee.
Where do the people come from?
From RobotTraining.jobs, the job board people use to find paid robot training work: they find us through search and AI assistants looking for exactly this work, from the United States, Latin America, South Asia, Africa and Europe. For a project we invite the ones who fit the brief, check their setup and a trial task against your standard before the paid work starts, and recruit locally when a city or a skill is short.
How do you handle our data and confidentiality?
Your data, your footage and your instructions serve your project and nothing else. Each person on the project signs a written confidentiality agreement and assigns their work to you.
Do we deal with each worker?
No. We plan the project, staff it, check what the people on it produce and hand it over. You deal with one company for the whole project.
What does an hour of robot training data cost on the market?
Published asking prices collected in our prices report (sources checked 18 Oct 2026) run from about $60 to $100 for an hour of general robot data, about $90 for an hour of unlabelled household first-person video, up to $150 for custom handheld-gripper demonstrations, and $450 to $1,200 for teleoperated arm and humanoid data. They are list prices, not completed sales. Our quote is the market rate of the people doing the work plus our fee, and shows both. The prices and their sources: what robot training data costs.
Who owns the data you collect for us?
You do. Everyone on a project accepts written confidentiality and assigns their work to you, and the data is delivered to you alone and used for your project only. If you plan to license the data to others, say so in the brief: the people who record it agree to the use the project names before they start.
Tell us the data you need
A short chat. We reply with the people we would put on it, how we would check the data and a plan for the first batch.
We find the people
We find and assess the teleoperators, data collectors, test drivers or drone pilots your work needs and introduce the ones who said yes. You contract them yourself.
A fee per person you accept.
We run the project
We staff, run, check and deliver the robot data you need (filmed tasks, teleoperation sessions, labeled robot video), with people from our own network.
Priced per project.
