GoKawiilHUMXN offers free home repairs in three cities to film technicians for robot training data
AI lab HUMXN is subsidizing plumbing, electrical, HVAC, air-duct, and carpet cleaning services for homeowners in three cities in exchange for recording technicians at work using wearable capture technology. Founder Thomas Unise says the goal is to collect real-world data on how skilled laborers perform tasks, which is scarce in formats AI systems can learn from. Service professionals are still paid for their work, while HUMXN covers the cost to homeowners.
