Role at a Glance
Wear a lightweight head-mounted camera and carry out everyday work tasks to generate authentic training footage for TSMG's AI robotics project. Fully on-site in Caloocan. No prior experience needed — you need a smartphone, at least four hours of availability on each scheduled day, and a willingness to follow clear instructions. Salary figure not publicly disclosed; ask during screening.
What This Role Is About
As a Video Recording Participant with TSMG, you become a direct contributor to how artificial intelligence learns to understand the physical world. You carry out ordinary activities — organising items, moving through a space, handling objects — while a compact head-mounted camera documents your hands, the tools you use, and the surrounding environment. The footage feeds machine-learning pipelines that help robots and AI systems recognise and replicate real human workflows. Locations span retail floors, warehouses, offices, laboratories, and healthcare settings, providing genuine variety across scheduled shifts.
About TSMG and the Project
TSMG operates large-scale video data collection programmes that supply AI and robotics developers with authentic, first-person footage of human activity in real workplaces. Rather than relying on synthetic or studio-produced material, the organisation deploys on-the-ground participants across supermarkets, logistics hubs, manufacturing sites, offices, and labs to capture the organic, varied footage that makes AI models genuinely useful in practice. The Caloocan engagement is part of a broader multi-site initiative, meaning each participant's recordings contribute directly to systems shaping how automation and intelligent robotics develop at scale.
What You Will Be Doing
- Wear a provided lightweight head-mounted camera throughout each scheduled recording session
- Complete simple everyday or work-related activities at a natural, unhurried pace
- Record a minimum of four hours of usable video per assigned project day
- Use a personal Android or iOS smartphone to connect to the camera when the project requires it
- Follow all provided recording, safety, privacy, and equipment-handling instructions
- Repeat any session segment that does not meet quality requirements
- Perform assigned light physical tasks such as walking, organising objects, stocking shelves, sorting, packing, cleaning, or using basic tools
Must-Have Requirements
- Be of legal working age in the Philippines
- Own a functioning Android or iOS smartphone
- Available for a minimum of four continuous hours of recording on each scheduled project day
- Comfortable wearing a lightweight head-mounted camera for the duration of a session
- Able to follow clear, simple verbal or written instructions throughout a shift
- Committed to privacy compliance — no recording of confidential information or individuals who have not given consent
Nice to Have
- Basic English reading or spoken comprehension (preferred by the employer but not a hard gate)
- Prior participation in data collection studies, field research, or similar programmes
- Comfortable performing light lifting when offered (fully voluntary — only assigned to willing participants)
Skills and Seniority Context
The qualification bar here is intentionally low. The two hard requirements — a compatible smartphone and the ability to follow on-the-day instructions — cover virtually everything. There is no experience gate, no technical credential, and no language proficiency threshold beyond a preference for basic English. What actually differentiates a strong participant is reliability and availability: showing up on scheduled days, sustaining focus across a four-hour session, and flagging when footage needs a retake. This is a genuine entry-level engagement — consistent presence and attention to quality cues matter far more than any background credential.
Salary and Pay Structure
TSMG has not disclosed a salary figure, hourly rate, or daily rate in the published listing. Whether compensation is structured per hour, per session day, or as a project flat fee is not specified in the available job content. Before committing to a schedule, ask directly during the screening conversation: what is the rate, how is it calculated, when is it paid, and whether any equipment deposit or transport reimbursement applies. Confirm the payment terms in writing before your first scheduled day.
Location and Work Setup
This is a fully on-site engagement based in Caloocan. Recording sessions are conducted at employer-approved venues — which may include retail stores, supermarkets, warehouses, logistics facilities, offices, manufacturing sites, laboratories, or healthcare environments — assigned on a per-day basis. Remote participation is not possible given the physical nature of the data capture. The listing contains no information about relocation assistance or visa sponsorship.
