Robot Training Hiring Activity

Method and definitions

The public job boards of the robot training employers and programs this site tracks, read every day. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.

Coverage

The employers and programs whose public job boards RobotTraining.jobs reads in full every day. Each figure states how many were read.

Open role

A role listed by a given day and still in its employer's feed that day.

New listing

A role that first appeared during the window at an employer already tracked before that week. An employer's first week in this dataset is its back catalogue and is not counted as new.

Removed listing

A role that left its employer's feed during the window.

Days listed

From a removed role's listing date to the last day it was seen in its feed.

Kind of work

Each role is classified from its title and description into one of the seven kinds of robot training work this site tracks, from robot teleoperation and demonstration collection to egocentric capture, embodied-AI annotation, robot evaluation, fleet operations and AV and drone operation. Every kind links to its own page.

Listing date

The date the employer's job board gives for the posting, or else the first day the role appeared in the feed. A role that arrived with an employer's back catalogue and gives no date has no known listing date.

Location rule

Read from each posting's location text: open worldwide, worldwide except listed countries, only listed countries, or no rule stated.

Window

Live: the last 28 complete days, in UTC. Edition: one calendar month, in UTC.

What this data cannot tell you

• Employers that recruit without a public job board are not counted, and some data-collection programs enrol people through an app rather than a job listing.
• A listing is not a hire. Some employers keep evergreen roles open for months, and some post one listing per city or country.
• A removed listing may have been filled, paused or closed: employers do not say which.
• Duplicate postings of the same role are merged when the feeds are read.

How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.

Editions

The live report covers the last 28 complete days and changes every day. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
