Teleoperation

And you have to be careful about how you collect that data.

Teleoperation, where a human wears a device and the robot mimics their arm movements, gives you high-quality data, but it's slow and requires specialized equipment.

The other option is learning from video, where you just film a human doing the task and the robot watches.

That's cheaper, but it's also much harder because the robot has to extract the relevant motion from a 2D video and map it to its own joints.

I mean, they were really quick.

Teleoperation in five years, you think essential or niche?

For data collector

as an application, yeah.
