A robot carries packages down a warehouse corridor. It earns tokens for every delivery. A person is guiding it from five thousand miles away through AR glasses. The warehouse AI updates inventory in real time based on what the robot sees. By tonight, that data trains the next version. Tomorrow the robot is better.
