Post-2000s Data Collectors: Teaching Embodied AI Robots to Learn In Jiaxing, Zhejiang, young “data collectors” at Institute of Flexible Electronics Technology of Tsinghua train robots by demonstrating daily tasks like folding clothes and cleaning. Wearing VR goggles and using mechanical claws, they record movements for robots to mimic. Yang Huiqin, a post-2000s graduate, said the job required controlling natural habits to avoid damaging robot parts. She named her robots to give them “life”, and the improvement of robots’ accuracy brought her great fulfillment. With growing demand, the institute now employs nearly 300 collectors, mostly post-2000s, and partners with schools for internships.

China Post's Guangzhou center has deployed incredible embodied AI #robots# capable of sorting 1,200 parcels an hour. Using multimodal perception and autonomous decision-making, these smart bots help tackle up to 10 million #packages# on peak days.

Jennifer Welch: “The people that are coming for your jobs are these AI tech oligarchs. They want to wipe out the workforce and replace it with their AI robots. They, like Benjamin Netanyahu, have sucked up to Trump because Trump doesn’t care about human beings, he’s not principled. They’re like oh my God finally we’ve got somebody in the Executive Branch that will do all of the unprincipled immoral war crime shit that we want him to do”
