AI lab offers free plumbing and HVAC repairs in three cities to train robots

HUMXN is subsidizing plumbing, electrical, HVAC, duct and carpet cleaning for homeowners in Minneapolis, Chicago and Miami in exchange for letting technicians wearing capture gear record their work. The data will train AI robots on skilled physical labor, with service professionals still paid.

• Program runs in Minneapolis, Chicago and Miami to capture varied climates
• Free services include plumbing, electrical, HVAC, duct and carpet cleaning
