About this episode

The episode discusses the shift in constraints on robotic intelligence from compute and model architecture to the availability of human-generated demonstration data.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we argue that the binding constraint on robotic intelligence has moved. It is no longer compute, and it was never the model architecture. It is the supply of human-generated demonstration data, the recorded hours of people driving real robots through real tasks. Unlike text or images, this data cannot be scraped from the internet. It has to be manufactured, one time-aligned teleoperation episode at a time, on instrumented hardware, at considerable cost. Becaus...
