How Robot Training Roles Advertise Pay

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.

Stating pay

A role states pay when its posting gives an hourly figure or range. A salary, per-task or per-video pay, and postings with no figure, do not count.

Advertised pay

The hourly figure a posting states (the middle of a stated range). Medians need at least 8 roles stating a rate; the middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile.

Range ratio

The top of an advertised range divided by its bottom, for roles that give a range.

Open role

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

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.

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.
• Pay is what postings advertise, not what workers are paid after overtime, shift differentials or bonuses.

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.
