This photograph taken on May 13, 2026 shows engineers annotating data from cameras recording actions through motion capture at AI data company Objectways' office in Tamil Nadu's Karur district. Developers think feeding first-person footage, called "egocentric data", into specialised AI models will help robots copy humans. The humanoid robot market is booming, with investment bank Morgan Stanley predicting there could be over a billion in use by 2050, mostly for industrial and commercial purposes. In India, the emerging field of spatial AI is providing new employment -- for now. (Photo by R.Satish BABU / AFP via Getty Images)
