Teleoperator
- Data Annotation for VLA About Clutterbot Clutterbot is building robots to maintain, organise, and reset common public and commercial spaces. We are building a hybrid end-to-end architecture where classical and modern methods work together for maximum reliability and robustness. The role As a Teleoperator
- Data Annotation for Vision-Language-Action (VLA), you will operate Clutterbot’s robots across lab, real-world, and simulated environments while generating and annotating high-quality data for our VLA models. This is an in-office role based in Bangalore, combining robotics operations with data annotation and applied AI.

What you'll do
• Teleoperate Clutterbot's clutter-tidying robots in lab settings to perform structured pick-up, sorting, and tidying tasks for demonstration data collection.
• Teleoperate robots in live, real-world food court and cinema hall environments, safely navigating around tables, seating, foot traffic, spills, and varied clutter types (trays, cups, wrappers, popcorn boxes, tissues, etc.).
• Operate robots within simulated software environments to generate synthetic and semi-synthetic demonstration data, stress-test edge cases, and support sim-to-real transfer efforts.
• Maintain smooth, precise, and task-consistent control of robot arms, grippers, and mobility bases across all three settings.
• Follow standardized operating procedures (SOPs) and task scripts designed to produce diverse, high-quality demonstration trajectories.
• Annotate teleoperation sessions and raw sensor data (RGB/depth video, proprioception, language instructions, action trajectories) to produce clean, structured datasets for VLA model training.
• Apply language grounding to robot actions — writing or validating natural-language instructions/descriptions that correspond to demonstrated behaviors, consistent with VLA data conventions.




• Label and segment task episodes (start/end of sub-tasks, success/failure, contact events, object identities and states) according to annotation guidelines.
• Flag ambiguous, low-quality, or edge-case episodes and route them for review; propose refinements to annotation taxonomies and guidelines as patterns emerge.
• Perform quality checks and audits on annotated data to catch labeling drift, inconsistency, or errors before datasets are used for training. What you’ll bring
