时薪 15 美元的新工种:把 iPhone 绑在脑门上,替 AI 蒸馏自己

你或许刷到了一段来自印度南部服装厂的视频。 工厂工人佩戴头戴摄像头,记录手部动作以训练人工智能系统。 这是因为随着特斯拉、Figure AI 等公司竞相开发人形机器人,训练它们所需的真实世界动作数据变得极为紧缺。 帕洛阿尔托的 Micro1 因此在全球 71 个国家招募了约 4000 名工人,每月收到超过 16 万小时的视频素材。每人每周至少提交 10 小时录像,交替完成不同类型的任务。 Scale AI 和 Encord 也在招募各自的数据采集队伍,DoorDash 甚至在 2026 年 3 月推出 Tasks 应用,让旗下送餐员顺带在家录家务视频,不过专门排除了数据隐私法律严格的州。 每小时 15 美元 这份工作的具体操作,比听起来要奇怪。 应聘者首先要通过一个叫 Zara 的 AI 智能体面试。Zara 会和你对话,评估你是否适合,并要求你提交一段试录视频。 通过之后,你会收到一个额头头带支架、一份录制说明,和一张任务清单。说明上写着,要让双手始终保持在镜头可见范围内,动作要「保持自然速度」。 可自然速度在摄像头下往往显得太快,所以工人们普遍反映,实际录制时必须刻意放慢,结果动作反而变得不自然,像是在模仿梦游。 还有一个门槛:你需要带有 LiDAR 传感器的 iPhone,也就是至少要 iPhone 12 Pro 以上的机型。 视频提交之后,还要经过 AI 和人工双重审核,只

Hanwha ramps up SAR satellite push with AI integration

Hanwha Group is accelerating its push into the global space industry, expanding capabilities across satellite manufacturing, launch, ground operations and data services, as it seeks to position itself as a full-spectrum space solutions provider. At the center of the effort is Hanwha Systems, which has been strengthening its synthetic aperture radar, or SAR, satellite technology following the successful launch of Korea’s first domestically developed small SAR satellite in December 2023.

World Models Explained: The Architecture That Could Replace Transformers

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash In the span of a few months, bridging late 2025 and early 2026, the signal became hard to ignore. Yann LeCun — one of the three original deep learning pioneers, and the researcher who helped invent the convolutional neural network — left Meta after twelve years to launch AMI Labs, raising over a billion dollars at a multi-billion dollar valuation before releasing a single product. Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs shipped Marble, the first commercially available world model. Google DeepMind released Genie 3, capable of generating navigable 3D environments in real time

顺丰红杉IDG,投一位清华90后

投资界获悉,今日(4月27日),星动纪元宣布完成2亿美元新一轮融资。投资方阵容豪华—— 顺丰集团领投;红杉中国、IDG资本、中金资本、京铭资本、朝希资本、鲁信创投、聚合资本、隆启投资等知名财务机构联合注资;科捷智能、东风产投、工银资本、联通旗下基金等多家头部产业方共同参与;老股东清控天诚、鸿瑞达亦持续加码增持。顺丰领投,是产业巨头为具身智能真实落地投下的信任票。 这距离星动纪元上一轮10亿元融资才刚刚过去1个月,市场投资意向远超原定融资目标。 始于2023年,星动纪元是一家“清华系”百亿具身独角兽。身后创始人陈建宇,自创业起就坚持软硬件一体化全栈自研,打造“通用本体”和“通用大脑”构建AI NATIVE的具身终极落地系统化迭代能力。至今,星动纪元商业化落地领跑行业,在物流与工业场景已实现规模化交付。 放眼望去,具身分水岭渐渐出现。掉队就代表出局,所有人都在奋力抢跑。 清华「最牛」博导 造起机器人,“越干活越聪明” 星动纪元的故事,要从清华90后博导陈建宇说起。 1992年出生的陈建宇,于2011年被保送至清华大学精密仪器系,这是国内最早从事双足人形机器人研究的单位之一。本科期间,他开始研究双足机器人的步态规划,后来赴加州大学伯克利分校直博,师从美国工程院院士、机电控制领域的先驱Masayoshi Tomizuka教授,期间参与了多个无人驾驶项目,积累了深厚的控制理论和AI算法功底。
