Teach robots
_ by just living
your life.
We pay people to record first-person video, hand motion, and proprioception data from wearables and phones today — and democratize access to robot teleoperations tomorrow. That data trains the foundation models that move the world's robots.
Three steps to train the next generation.
Pick a task from the taxonomy, film yourself performing it, earn rewards when your demonstration is accepted.

01
Pick a Task
Browse the Maximus task taxonomy in the app — from Pick & Place to Deformable Objects — and choose one that fits the moment you're in.

Our structured taxonomy covers the full spectrum of manipulation skills robots need to master.
Pick & Place
Grasping objects and placing them precisely — from sorting groceries to organizing shelves. The foundational skill for robotic manipulation.
EXAMPLE TASKSInterface Manipulation
Operating buttons, switches, touchscreens, and controls. Teaching robots to interact with the interfaces humans designed for humans.
EXAMPLE TASKSEntry & Access
Navigating doors, gates, locks, and physical barriers. Essential for robots that need to move through real-world environments.
EXAMPLE TASKSTool Use
Wielding handheld tools effectively — from kitchen utensils to cleaning equipment. Complex dexterous manipulation in action.
EXAMPLE TASKSDeformable Objects
Handling soft, flexible, and deformable materials — one of the hardest challenges in robotics. Fabrics, food, cables, and more.
EXAMPLE TASKSGet paid for the data you generate.
Higher quality and longer videos result in more rewards.
Building the future, one demo at a time.
Egocentric Capture
iPhone + head mount. First-person video of household tasks. The modality used to pretrain embodied AI world models — the foundation every robotics foundation model is built on.
Teleoperation
Remote-control simulated and physical robot arms. Capture action-labeled trajectory data — denser, more structured, and significantly more valuable per minute than passive video. The modality used to fine-tune dexterous manipulation policies.

Questions & answers.
What data do you collect?
We collect first-person video (egocentric camera), hand motion data from IMU sensors, and depth information when available. All data is opt-in and you control what you share.
How much can I earn?
Earnings depend on clip quality, length, task difficulty, and device used. Average verified clips earn $4–$12 each. NFT holders get bonus multipliers.
Is my data private?
Yes. You own your data. We use on-device processing to blur faces and sensitive content before upload. You can delete your data at any time.
When will Android be supported?
Android support is planned for Phase 02 (Q3 2025). Join the waitlist to be notified when it launches.
What are the NFTs for?
Genesis NFTs grant access to the platform, reward multipliers, and governance rights. They also serve as proof of early contribution to the Maximus network.
Can I contribute from any country?
Yes! Maximus is global. As long as you have a compatible device and internet connection, you can contribute from anywhere in the world.
