summary: "Researchers developed Workhorse, a system enabling the G1 humanoid robot to learn whole-body movement and manipulation from human examples without teleoperation, retargeting, or robot use during data collection. In real-time autonomous tests, the G1 robot caught a thrown box, climbed a suitcase, and sorted items using its hands and a kick."
