Ami The Robot Operator at Ami is responsible for executing and evaluating AI-driven robotic tasks, collecting and annotating data, and maintaining lab operations and safety. The role requires precision, attention to detail, and basic programming skills.

Responsibilities

Model and algorithm evaluation
Arrange objects and scenes in exact, specified configurations so that test runs are comparable.
Launch our algorithms on the robots following written instructions, and watch each run closely.
Record outcomes (success, failure, partial), timings and anything unusual, accurately and consistently.
Reset the scene and repeat across many trials and variations.
Teleoperate robots through tasks such as picking, placing, sorting, stacking, opening containers, tool use and simple assembly, using leader–follower arms, VR or motion-tracking rigs, gamepads or keyboard interfaces.
Run scripted or programmatic data collection where the robot is driven by code rather than by hand.
Introduce requested variations in objects, positions, lighting and task order while keeping your technique consistent.
Meet daily targets for data volume without compromising quality or safety.
Data annotation and review
Review recorded episodes and mark them as successful, failed or invalid and assign rewards.
Label task phases, outcomes and failure reasons using our annotation tools.
