MIT graduates have launched a facility in Watertown, Massachusetts, called Tutor Intelligence [1][2][3]. This 'robot kindergarten' serves as a massive training ground where machines learn basic tasks like folding laundry and packing boxes [1][2].
The facility operates as a robot data factory [1]. It generates physical data necessary for artificial intelligence to interact with the real world [2][3]. This process helps robots learn complex human movements through repetitive practice in a controlled environment [3].
