## Resource

Human Archive is revolutionizing robot training by collecting real-world video data from everyday workers—like chefs and cleaners—using smart camera caps, now deployed across 1,000+ locations. Just raised $8.2M from Wing VC and Y Combinator, the startup’s mission is to fuel AI with authentic human motion data. Despite pushback from major Indian home services and online criticism, they’re expanding into Southeast Asia and the U.S., even developing gloves and motion suits to capture richer data. Their bold plan? Let consumers pay less in exchange for helping train the robots of tomorrow. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
