Robotics video data · Global workforce

Robots learn from people who already know how.

QwestLab pays a global community to record everyday physical work from their own point of view — and turns it into the training data robotics teams can actually use.

Your phone, and a head strap.
We pay the strap back.

  1. Buy any phone head strap₱150–300, about US$3–6. Any brand, any shop, as long as it holds your phone on your forehead.
  2. Upload the strap and the receiptOne photo, on your Kit page in the app. We check it within a few days.
  3. Reach your first accepted hour of videoThen, and only then, US$4.00 goes into your QwestLab wallet. Only accepted videos count.
