SMRTR summary
Australia's "Renovation Queen" Cherie Barber is using a humanoid robot named Tinnie as a digital apprentice in a high-risk residential renovation project near Western Sydney. Built by China's Unitree Robotics, Tinnie won't handle tools but will conduct site inductions, check building codes, and guide design decisions — while also learning human behavior, culture, and everyday experiences. The project will be broadcast on national TV.
