Record Household Chores on Your Phone | $100 for 10 Approved Hours (US)

September 16, 2026

We are hiring people in the United States to record everyday household chores for Amelia's robotics training program. You will record first-person footage directly in the Minute app, using your phone secured in a head-mounted strap. Choose only tasks listed in the app.

PAY AND HOURS

The first fixed-price milestone is $100 for Hours 1 to 10: ten approved recording hours at $10 per approved hour. Only approved recording time is paid; setup, onboarding, training, and rejected recordings are not paid. You are responsible for any fees Upwork charges you.

We are looking for people who can record at least 10 hours per week once they start. There is an opportunity to continue through additional milestones, up to 100 approved hours per month while the appropriate milestones are active. The $100 listed budget is for the first ten hours per person. All contract communication and payments stay on Upwork. Do not begin work until your Upwork contract is active.

WHAT YOU NEED

You must be physically in the United States when recording. All U.S. states are eligible. You need reliable Wi-Fi for uploads and one of the approved phones below. Please give the exact model in your application; similar model names are not interchangeable.

Approved phones:

- iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max

- iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max

- iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max

- iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max

- iPhone 16 models except 16e

- Samsung Galaxy S21, S22, S23, S24, S25, or S26, including the + and Ultra versions of those models

Other unlisted models are not approved.

You also need an approved head-mounted phone strap. The three approved options usually cost about $10 to $25. We reimburse $15 through Upwork after Amelia shows your first ten approved hours. If you already own a compatible head strap, send a product link or photo so we can check it. A chest mount is not suitable.

RECORDING

Record raw footage inside Minute with the back camera, in landscape orientation, using the widest .5x setting. Keep the phone at head level, show your hands while doing the task, and keep other people and faces out of frame. Record only where you have permission to film. Speaking is not required unless a task asks for it. Do not edit or combine videos, and keep each recording under 30 minutes. We will provide setup instructions before you start.

TO APPLY

Please answer the screening questions with your current U.S. city and state, exact phone model, weekly availability and start date, and head-strap details. If you already participate in Amelia or have an Amelia Upwork offer or contract, tell us so we can avoid a duplicate.
