Inside The Largest Humanoid Robot Data Factory In The United States

Tutor Intelligence runs DF1 near Boston, where about 100 Sonny robots repeatedly practice warehouse-style tasks like box handling, stacking, and folding.

Their successes and failures are labeled and used to train models, turning robot activity into a large-scale data pipeline.

The company’s goal is to build reusable humanoid robots that can serve multiple customers, not just one-off custom automation.

Tutor is betting that controlling the full stack — data, models, and deployment — will help it solve general-purpose industrial robotics.
