What happened
A journalist tested a humanoid robot home-cleaning service in San Francisco operated by the startup Tau Robotics. Although the robots can vacuum and mop independently, they currently rely heavily on remote human teleoperation to perform complex tasks and gather real-world training data for future autonomous AI models.
