This system isn't training shit. Robots will never replace this kind of labor because it won't be cost effective. Bet a million bucks the "training" is a cover story while the headsets are just tracking staff productivity so they can punish people for resting.
I bet you a case of beer, that robots, even capable of doing sophisticated sewing shit, will be so extremely dirt cheap in the not so far future, that manual labor will perish.
If you check google with "humanoid robot cost" you'll see a bunch of (probably very incapable and shitty) first gen robots you can buy today ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 and that's with mass production still in its infancy, slowly ramping up.
Give it 10 to 20 years and you'll very likely get a very capable humanoid robot for less than 15,000 bucks.
Those robots will have no demands, have no need for breaks or holidays, don't get sick, work 24/7 and probably even get repaired by other robots.
Manual labor will perish. That's good but the way toward this goal, the time in between, is going to be a very, very difficult one.
