Video Annotation Expert | $15-$80/hr Remote
Listing checked September 5, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
This contractor role with micro1 places you at the center of a robotics and human-activity video annotation project. You will watch short clips of robots or people performing actions and judge how well they match written instructions. Your evaluations help train next-generation AI systems to learn and reason from real-world examples. No prior AI experience is needed; your sharp eye for detail and understanding of movement are what count.
What You'll Do7
- 1Watch short video clips of robots or people and check whether the actions align with the given written directives.
- 2Assess each action for accuracy and completeness against defined end states and project guidelines.
- 3Compare multiple video samples to decide which one better fulfills the specified instruction.
- 4Improve or correct AI-generated video annotations, including action boundaries, descriptions, and feedback points.
- 5Spot subtle differences in movement, object interaction, and action sequences to ensure precise evaluation.
- 6Document your observations and decisions clearly in writing.
- 7Apply detailed rubrics consistently to maintain high annotation quality throughout the project.
Requirements5
- 1Strong attention to detail to catch subtle differences in video content.
- 2Excellent written communication skills for documenting observations and decisions.
- 3Familiarity with robotics or human activity is a plus, but not mandatory.
- 4Ability to follow detailed rubrics and maintain consistent quality.
- 5Comfortable working remotely and managing your own schedule.
Who Should Apply
This role suits someone who enjoys careful observation and can articulate why one action sequence is more correct than another. If you have a background in robotics, sports analysis, or any field that requires precise movement evaluation, you will likely excel here. The role is less ideal for those who prefer fast-paced, high-volume tasks over meticulous review. Candidates often miss out when they rush through videos or fail to provide clear, concise written justifications for their choices.
