Sensors, head-mounted cameras, recordings: Humans are helping Chinese tech companies train robots
Daniel Wang came home to his apartment in Beijing and saw a humanoid robot waiting for him. He opened the door, and the robot got to work. The robot, developed by Shenzhen-based X Square Robot, moved slowly. It spent an hour folding about three pieces of clothing, and another arranging Wang’s shoes. Most of the actual chores were done by a human housekeeper who accompanied it. But the robot’s…

Project Fetch: Phase two
In August 2024, we ran an experiment to see how much Claude could help Anthropic employees—who were not robotics experts—perform sophisticated (and amusing) tasks with an off-the-shelf robotic quadruped (henceforth, a robodog). We called this Project Fetch. We found that access to our state-of-the-art model at the time (Claude Opus 4.1) helped one team substantially outperform the other, who had…
