- Tesla hires humans to train Optimus robot through motion capture
- The project requires extensive data collection
- Experts question the feasibility of Tesla’s ambitious robot plans
Suit Up and Get Paid
Tesla is ramping up its efforts to train the Optimus humanoid robot by hiring Data Collection Operators at up to $48 per hour.
These workers don motion-capture suits and VR headsets to perform various tasks, generating valuable data for the robot’s AI training.
Walking in Robot Shoes
The job requires candidates between 5’7″ and 5’11” to wear specialized equipment for over seven hours daily.
They’ll walk test routes, manipulate objects, and even directly teleoperate the Optimus prototype, all in the name of robotic advancement.
