Base: 1,150 roles still open as 31 Oct 2026 closed, across the 100 employers with a public job board that RobotTraining.jobs checks every day; listing activity from 1 Oct 2026 to 31 Oct 2026.
An employer's first week in the dataset is its back catalogue, so it is not counted as new listings. Change is the employer's open-role count at the window's end minus the count at its start.
Each city or country version of a posting counts separately. The figures count postings, not hires.

Base: Based on the 349 roles live on 31 Oct 2026 with an hourly rate given.
Pay means the hourly figure in the posting, taking the midpoint when a range is given. 'Middle half' spans the 25th to the 75th percentile.
Employers with under 3 priced roles get no median: they read n/a and are flagged as a small sample.

Base: 1,150 roles live on 31 Oct 2026, with each percentage taken from that employer's own openings.
Location rules come from the location text in each posting, and from the posting's own description when the location text names no country. 'Countries named' counts the different countries across the employer's include and exclude lists.
A row with under 2.8 open roles carries a small-sample mark and is left unranked: under that count, the average across all rows says more than the row's own open roles do (a weight fitted on the counts themselves).

Base: Roles taken down from 1 Oct 2026 to 31 Oct 2026 whose listing date is known, plus roles live on 31 Oct 2026.
Days listed run from the board's stated listing date, or failing that the role's first day in the feed, up to the final day it was spotted.
No median is shown below 3 removed roles.

Buy the data behind this report
This report sums up records we gather ourselves, day after day:
1,432 robot training roles followed, history included
Every role on 100 employer job boards, read each day since 12 Sep 2026: its pay, its place, and the first and last day it was up.
536 apply clicks over 28 days
Which robot training roles people really apply to, by kind of work, pay and place. The clicks happen here, so no one else can count them.
25 sourced industry datasets
Funding, revenue, deals, fleets, deployments and prices across the robot training industry, each record linked to the publication it comes from.
On offer
The raw records
Every robot training role we track: title, employer, place, kind of work, pay as stated, and the days it was first and last open.
A regular feed
New and closed roles every week or month, as file drops or through the data endpoints.
A custom cut
Any figure here by country, city, kind of work, vehicle, employer or date, or your own hiring benchmarked against the market.
Need the people behind this data for your own robots? (you contract them yourself) or (we deliver the robot data).
Investing in robotics, AV or robot-data companies? The Robot hiring radar is these records role by role, every day, as files.
Robot hiring brief: free, once a month
The robot-training job market in figures, on the first weekday of each month: open roles, what opened and closed, who added and who cut, and posted pay by kind of work. To your work email.
How it was measured
Every day this site reads the public job boards of the robot training employers and programs it follows. A single database query produces each figure for the window shown, and the live page and every monthly edition run that identical query. The note under each figure gives its base.
- Coverage
- Which employers and programs RobotTraining.jobs reads in full, board by board, each day. Every figure notes how many boards went into it.
- Open role
- On a given day, a role that has been posted and still shows in the employer's feed.
- New listing
- A role seen for the first time during the window, at an employer this site was already following the week before. Whatever an employer has up in its first tracked week is back catalogue and does not count as new.
- Removed listing
- A role that dropped out of its employer's feed within the window.
- Days listed
- For a role that came down: the span from its listing date to the final day its feed still showed it.
- Advertised pay
- The hourly rate a listing gives, using the midpoint when it gives a range. A median appears only when 3 or more roles state a rate, and the middle half spans the 25th to the 75th percentile.
- Location rule
- Taken from the location text of each listing or, when that text names no country, from what the listing's own description says: worldwide, worldwide with named exceptions, named countries only, or no rule given.
- Kind of work
- A role's title and description place it in one of the seven kinds of robot training work this site follows, ranging from robot teleoperation and demonstration collection through egocentric capture, embodied-AI annotation, robot evaluation and fleet operations to AV and drone operation. Each kind has a page of its own.
- Window
- Live page: the 28 most recent full days (UTC). Edition: a single calendar month (UTC).
Limits of this data
- Hiring that happens off public job boards is invisible here, and some data-collection programs sign people up inside an app instead of posting a job.
- A posting does not equal a hire. Certain employers leave evergreen roles up for months, and others post the same role once per city or country.
- These are advertised rates. Overtime, shift premiums and bonuses can change what a worker actually takes home.
Collection and classification of listings are explained on the methodology page. Freshness, completeness and consistency are tested daily in the data quality report.
Monthly editions
The live page spans the 28 most recent full days and updates daily. Every finished month also gets its own edition, locked two days after month end, so a number quoted from it stays fixed.
- Live page28 most recent full days, rebuilt daily
- October 2026 edition (you are here)Will lock when the next daily refresh runs
