  • Follow detailed instructions and adapt to evolving guidelines
  • Capture and validate data (video, sensor inputs, task logs) during operation
  • Identify and flag edge cases, failures, or unexpected robot behavior
  • Maintain consistency and accuracy across repeated task runs
  • Partner with onsite teams (engineering, QA, program leads) to improve workflows
