Agile Robots Turns Human Work Footage Into Training Data for Factory Automation

Agile Robots is expanding a human-demonstration training program that films workers performing factory tasks, aiming to close the data gap that still limits industrial automation. Chief Executive Officer Zhaopeng Chen described the effort at a technology event in Turin, where the Munich company said its Robot Academy tracks hand and finger movements, combines the footage with other training data, and lets robots rehearse the actions in simulation.
