Collector Work Guide

Collectors are the core role in the data collection process, responsible for executing specific robot operation tasks and completing data collection work. This guide provides detailed information about the collector's workflow and operation steps.

Workflow Overview​

The collector's work is mainly divided into the following stages:

  1. Device Registration - Register robot devices to the system
  2. Task Reception - Receive collection tasks assigned by project managers
  3. Task Execution - Execute collection operations in VR environment
  4. Status Management - Update task status and coordinate quality checks

1. Device Registration​

1.1 Connect to Device Network​

Connect the laptop to the TeleBox device network to ensure network connectivity.

1.2 Access Device Management Page​

Access the device management page by visiting http://10.42.0.3:7876/ in your browser.

1.3 Login to Data Platform​

Login to the data platform account on the TeleBox device to ensure the device is properly connected to the platform.

1.4 Register Robot Device​

Enter the "Collection Tasks" page. When using for the first time, the system will actively prompt to register the device:

  • Fill in the device's unique number and remarks
  • Used to distinguish different robot devices
  • If the device is already registered, it can be directly selected from the list

2. Task Reception and Management​

2.1 Login to Data Platform​

Access the data platform website http://platform.io-ai.tech/ and login with the collector account.

2.2 View Assigned Tasks​

Enter the "Collection Tasks" page to view all tasks assigned to you:

Collection Tasks

2.3 Task Information Viewing​

Each task contains the following information:

  • Task Name - The identifier name of the task
  • Action Set - Specific operation steps to be executed
  • Project Affiliation - The project to which the task belongs
  • Collection Requirements - Specific requirements such as quantity, duration, and scene
  • Assigned Device - The robot device used to execute the task
  • Task Status - The current execution status of the task

2.4 Task Status Management​

Collectors can perform the following status transitions:

  • Pending → Working - Start executing the task
  • Working → Done - Complete collection and wait for quality check

3. Task Execution in VR Environment​

3.1 Login to VR System​

In the VR environment, login to the collector account through the side web page:

3.2 View Task List​

After login, you can view all tasks assigned to you, including:

  • Task details and operation steps
  • Device connection status
  • Task progress information

3.3 Device Connection and Control​

Select the device to operate and click the connect button to establish control connection:

  • Ensure stable device connection
  • Execute operation steps according to task requirements
  • Monitor collection progress in real-time

4. Task Execution Key Points​

4.1 Operation Standards​

  • Strictly follow task steps to execute operations
  • Pay attention to the safety and accuracy of operations
  • Maintain stable device operation

4.2 Status Updates​

  • Update task status in a timely manner
  • Submit for inspection promptly after completing operations
  • Coordinate with quality audit processes

4.3 Problem Handling​

  • Report technical issues promptly
  • Stop operations when device abnormalities occur
  • Coordinate with project managers to solve problems

5. Quality Check Coordination​

5.1 Check Process​

  • After completing collection, task status becomes "Done"
  • Wait for auditors to perform quality checks
  • Handle accordingly based on check results

5.2 Unqualified Handling​

  • If the check is unqualified, task status becomes "Rework"
  • Need to re-execute related operations
  • Re-submit for inspection after completion

5.3 Qualified Confirmation​

  • After passing the check, task status becomes "Review"
  • Finally submit data to the system
  • Task completed

6. Important Notes​

  1. Device Safety - Ensure device status is normal before operation to avoid damage
  2. Data Quality - Execute strictly according to requirements to ensure collection data quality
  3. Status Synchronization - Update task status timely to maintain information synchronization
  4. Communication and Collaboration - Maintain good communication with project managers and auditors
  5. Technical Updates - Pay attention to system updates and learn new features promptly

Through the above process, collectors can efficiently complete data collection tasks and provide high-quality data foundation for the entire data annotation process.
