AI lab offers free plumbing and HVAC repairs across three cities to train AI robots, wearable sensors record video of repair work for robotics training, free services also include electrical work, air duct cleaning, and carpet cleaning

Robot training usually leans on video and text from the internet, which does not capture how a hand turns a valve or routes a wire. A lab called HUMXN is offering free plumbing, electrical and HVAC work in Minneapolis, Chicago and Miami while technicians wear cameras and sensors that record each step, and the footage becomes training data. The company says the workers still get paid.
