   $20 an Hour to Walk Robot Dogs: Dimensional Develops an AI Agent Operating System for Unitree Robots

   U.S. startup Dimensional is recruiting people at $20 an hour to walk robot dogs priced at $2,000 from Unitree Technology, using cameras and sensors to collect real-world reference data and train AI agents capable of controlling hardware. Founder Stash Pomichter said the company has purchased more than 100 robot dogs and 50 humanoid robots and is developing an open-source operating system, but experiments show that agents are still very poor at controlling hardware and cannot do without human involvement.
