The human work behind humanoid robots is being hidden

Robotics companies are concealing the extensive human labor required to train and operate humanoid robots, creating misleading impressions about machine capabilities. Workers wear VR headsets and sensors to demonstrate tasks hundreds of times daily, generating training data, while tele-operators remotely control robots when they encounter difficulties or complex tasks. This hidden workforce enables companies to market robots as autonomous while actually relying on human intervention, similar to how Tesla's overstated "Autopilot" capabilities contributed to fatal accidents.
