HIVE Robots Tests VR-Trained Humanoids for Overnight Retail Work in Denmark

Описание и применение

HIVE Robots проводит испытания гуманоидных роботов в супермаркете Føtex, используя VR‑телоперацию для ночного пополнения полок. Тест демонстрирует, что роботы могут работать в реальном магазине под наблюдением удалённого пилота, создавая данные для будущей автономии.

Задача

Retailers need a reliable way to replenish shelves overnight without full staff presence.

Результат

The trial demonstrates that humanoid robots can be operated in a real supermarket workflow, proving a staged path from human‑guided operation to potential future autonomy.

Рабочий процесс

• Remote pilot logs into Heimdall VR platform
• Pilot uses low‑latency whole‑body controls to guide the Unitree‑based humanoid
• Robot performs product placement and replenishment on real shelves
• Data from the session is captured for in‑house model training
• Pilot supervises or intervenes as needed
• Session ends when task is complete
