The Data Collection team owns the raw material our foundation models are trained on. We pilot robots through real industrial manipulation work. The skills could be pick and place, sorting, fastening, seating connectors but then we turn those hours into the demonstration data our models learn from. With Rivian as our first manufacturing partner, we are emulating the live, high-variability work inside an active production facility.
As a Robot Operator, you are the person actually showing the robot how the work is done. You'll spend your day on the floor running robots through tasks, some routine, some brand new, some that don't work yet and need figuring out. Along the way you will be developing judgment about what separates a good demonstration from a bad one.
