First look: This weird wearable device turns human workers into robot data collectors

Instawork is launching Instacore, a wearable camera system for gig workers to collect real-world data for training robots. The system, featuring five cameras and a compute backpack, aims to help robotics companies and AI labs teach machines to operate in commercial environments. Instawork's CEO envisions gig workers becoming robot trainers as the company partners with research labs and scales the initiative globally.
