RLWRLD says a robot would currently need several hours to clean a hotel room that staff can prepare in around 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the company says advances in AI software and robotic hardware are accelerating rapidly and it hopes its technology can be used in industrial AI robots by 2028. <\/p>\n<p>RLWRLD says hospitality work provides valuable training because many hotel tasks require precision and subtle hand control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, with Lotte Hotel, if you were to have a robot fold napkins, a gripper wouldn\u2019t be able to achieve the precise and crisp folds expected of hotel service quality. It wouldn\u2019t be able to achieve a level that can be used in service,\u201d said Hyemin Cho, RLWRLD business and strategy executive.<\/p>\n<p>The company says it is also collecting similar data from logistics workers at South Korean conglomerate CJ Group\u2019s warehouses and from staff at Japanese convenience store chain Lawson, where workers\u2019 hand movements are tracked as they arrange food displays and handle goods.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to build AI software that can operate across robots used in a range of factories and other workplaces in the coming years, before potentially expanding into homes. <\/p>\n<p>RLWRLD\u2019s engineers say replicating the dexterity of human hands is a key priority.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Humanoid robot smashes human half-marathon world record in Beijing race<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Physical AI race<\/h2>\n<p>The project is part of South Korea\u2019s growing push into \u201cphysical AI,\u201d a sector focused on robots that can perceive, decide, and act in real-world environments.<\/p>\n<p>Just as chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini train on vast troves of internet text, AI robots require extensive data on human action to handle advanced physical tasks.<\/p>\n<p>South Korean companies believe they may have an advantage because of the country\u2019s manufacturing base and its large pool of skilled industrial workers, whose expertise can be translated into robot training systems.<\/p>\n<p>The push is part of a wider national effort to turn South Korea\u2019s semiconductor and manufacturing strengths into a stronger position in AI robotics, even as the United States and China continue to lead the field as part of their wider technological rivalry.<\/p>\n<p>The country is stepping up efforts to compete in the humanoid robotics race, with its government recently announcing a $33 million (\u20ac28 million) national project aimed at recording the \u201cinstinctive know-how and skills\u201d of experienced technicians to help train AI-powered manufacturing robots.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Would you work with a joke-cracking robot?

Musk called Anthropic &#8216;evil&#8217; \u2014 now his data centres are helping its AI<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">In South Korea, hotel workers are folding napkins and polishing glasses while cameras track every movement, all to teach humanoid robots how to do the same work inside hotels, factories, and warehouses.\u00a0At a high-end hotel in the country\u2019s capital, Seoul, David Park is folding napkins, wiping glasses down, and setting tables, all while every movement is recorded in detail, with cameras strapped to his head, chest, and hands.\u00a0Park takes part in the recording sessions about once a month as part of a project run by South Korean artificial intelligence (AI) company RLWRLD,\u00a0 attempting to develop AI systems for five-finger robotic hands intended to more closely replicate human touch and movement.\u00a0The company says the process captures highly detailed information, including finger positioning, joint angles, and the amount of force applied during tasks.Developers then use that data to train robots equipped with humanlike metal hands and onboard cameras.In demonstrations, robots sort cutlery, lift cups, organise trays, and fold cloth napkins inside recreated hotel environments.Current humanoid systems remain far slower than humans. RLWRLD says a robot would currently need several hours to clean a hotel room that staff can prepare in around 40 minutes.However, the company says advances in AI software and robotic hardware are accelerating rapidly and it hopes its technology can be used in industrial AI robots by 2028.\u00a0RLWRLD says hospitality work provides valuable training because many hotel tasks require precision and subtle hand control.\u201cFor example, with Lotte Hotel, if you were to have a robot fold napkins, a gripper wouldn\u2019t be able to achieve the precise and crisp folds expected of hotel service quality. It wouldn\u2019t be able to achieve a level that can be used in service,\u201d said Hyemin Cho, RLWRLD business and strategy executive.The company says it is also collecting similar data from logistics workers at South Korean conglomerate CJ Group\u2019s warehouses and from staff at Japanese convenience store chain Lawson, where workers\u2019 hand movements are tracked as they arrange food displays and handle goods.The goal is to build AI software that can operate across robots used in a range of factories and other workplaces in the coming years, before potentially expanding into homes.\u00a0RLWRLD\u2019s engineers say replicating the dexterity of human hands is a key priority.Physical AI raceThe project is part of South Korea\u2019s growing push into \u201cphysical AI,\u201d a sector focused on robots that can perceive, decide, and act in real-world environments.Just as chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini train on vast troves of internet text, AI robots require extensive data on human action to handle advanced physical tasks.South Korean companies believe they may have an advantage because of the country\u2019s manufacturing base and its large pool of skilled industrial workers, whose expertise can be translated into robot training systems.The push is part of a wider national effort to turn South Korea\u2019s semiconductor and manufacturing strengths into a stronger position in AI robotics, even as the United States and China continue to lead the field as part of their wider technological rivalry.The country is stepping up efforts to compete in the humanoid robotics race, with its government recently announcing a $33 million (\u20ac28 million) national project aimed at recording the \u201cinstinctive know-how and skills\u201d of experienced technicians to help train AI-powered manufacturing robots.Major corporations are also investing heavily.\u00a0Hyundai Motor plans to introduce humanoid robots developed by Boston Dynamics at its factories from 2028.Samsung Electronics says it aims to convert all manufacturing facilities into \u201cAI-driven factories\u201d by 2030 using humanoids and task-specific robots across production lines.The development has also raised concerns among some labour groups that robots could eventually replace jobs.However, for Park, who has worked in hospitality for nine years, the innovation is more exciting than worrying.\u201cIf you look at the entire process of preparing for an event in the back-of-house space, we think humanoids might be able to take over about 30% to 40% of that workload,\u201d Park said.\u201cHowever, I think it will be difficult for them to replace the remaining 50%, 60%, 70% of the work, which involves the actual &#8216;human-to-human&#8217; interaction. In that sense, it\u2019s more exciting than concerning\u201d.For more on this story, watch the video in the media player above.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2026\/05\/14\/inside-the-korean-hotel-training-humanoid-robots-with-cameras-on-workers-hands&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/75\/84\/51\/1200x675_cmsv2_09454225-7895-59f7-84e4-97091dd6df67-9758451.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Denmark&#8217;s Queen Margrethe hospitalised in Copenhagen with chest pain Earth News Germany scraps renewable heating law despite heat pump boom Europe News Russia approves law allowing Putin to invade other countries Iran Iran&#8217;s World Cup team feted with public farewell amid US visa fears Europe News Denmark&#8217;s Queen Margrethe hospitalised [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1934886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1934886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1934886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1934886\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1934886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1934886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1934886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
