THE AI ANGLE
Learning dexterous manipulation policies from simulation and teleoperation data

Boston Dynamics opened a permanent training facility at Hyundai's Georgia plant to integrate Atlas humanoids into automotive manufacturing. Engineers use real car parts, teleoperation, and simulation to train the robots on logistics and dexterous manipulation. The effort shifts humanoid development from temporary tests to ongoing data collection for factory deployment.
