ARISTOS: Reskilling for a Physical Workforce
Affiliation
Carnegie Mellon University
Description
There is an entire category of human expertise that AI cannot absorb or replicate - the kind learned through years of hands-on practice, physical intuition, and real-world problem solving. Drone repair, advanced manufacturing, skilled trades and others are fields where knowledge lives in the hands and body as much as the mind, and where traditional training is slow, expensive, and difficult to scale. ARISTOS reimagines how that knowledge gets transferred, building an AI system that acts as a virtual craft master: available on demand, adaptive to the learner, and able to guide trainees through complex physical tasks in real time. The vision is a future where geography, cost, and access no longer determine who gets to develop high-value practical skills.
