HumanoidTrainingAbout
Hey, I’m Ram.
Twenty years in the software that runs factories. I write FabSpeak, one story a week on AI and semiconductor manufacturing from the factory floor. This site is where the humanoid thread lives.
Why this site exists
Most coverage of humanoid robots is about the body: the hands, the walking, the demo video. The part that decides whether a robot ever earns its keep in a plant is the training, and the training is a data and systems problem, which is the problem I have spent my career on.
So this is FabSpeak’s rule applied to humanoids: the mechanism underneath the headline, the number that makes it real, the caveat nobody puts in the press release, and one thing you can try on Monday.
Independent. No sponsors, no vendor placements, no invented numbers. Every figure links to its source on the References page.
A note on the pictures. Every photograph here except the two of me was generated for this site, so nothing on these pages is a stock image or a press photo lifted from a manufacturer. They illustrate ideas; they are not documentation of any particular company’s robot, and none of them should be read as a photograph of a real deployment.
