&#8211; first-person footage of humans performing tasks &#8211; to teach robots how to safely and effectively replace humans in various environments.<\/li>\n<li>Startups like Micro1 are gamifying the task by recruiting remote videographers who provide over 160,000 hours of video each month globally, yet the demand for data is colossal.<\/li>\n<li>Micro1 and other companies annotate videos for robots to understand objects, distances, and physical movements, contributing to the multibillion-dollar industry that&#8217;s expected to hit $10 billion by 2030.<\/li>\n<li>The process of training robots used to involve expensive hardware or software simulations; however, it is more cost-effective to record human activities using affordable devices like smartphones.<\/li>\n<li>Combining different data collection methods, including human-annotated data and simulation, is becoming a strategy as it offers a better learning experience for robots.<\/li>\n<li>The general-purpose humanoid robot market remains uncertain because of the unpredictability and complexity of household environments, and ensuring safety in tasks like cleaning remains challenging.<\/li>\n<li>Although robots excel in controlled factory environments, their lack of human intuition and safety precautions make it difficult for them to become commercially viable for everyday household chores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How filming your chores could train the android butlers of the future https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/04\/04\/tech\/humanoid-robot-training-jobs-intl-hnk-dst Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":202273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.cnn.com\/api\/v1\/images\/stellar\/prod\/20260319-dsc01091-1.jpg?c=16x9&q=w_800,c_fill","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-202272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202272"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":202274,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202272\/revisions\/202274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
