Is Sensei Robotics legit?

A small, identifiable startup with few reviews: 9 App Store ratings (4.6). Reviewers say they cashed out several times, that videos are approved in about a day, and that support (including a Discord) is responsive; one 5-star reviewer describes themselves as an app promoter. No Trustpilot page, Reddit threads or news coverage were found.

Does it pay? unclear

What you do

Apply in the Sensei app. If accepted into the beta, Sensei ships a collection kit with a phone mount, and you record yourself doing household chores (folding laundry, washing dishes, tidying shelves) and submit the videos for review. The footage goes to robotics and AI companies as training data.
