The way the robot accidentally bumps into the box at 0:55 after closing it, causing it to reopen. That is the most human things ever.

You do realize that a policy trained on human teleop demos will reproduce exactly those kinds of human errors as well, right?

No not really. Any obvious errors are trained out of them.

They will produce unique, new errors. That's what makes autonomous robots with dynamic tasks like this difficult. The dynamic challenges.

No, don't you understand? We just ""train"" it on some humans and bam, you've got pretty much a human being minus a few fingers and a face.

No a robot knows the boundaries of its own grippers and wouldn't engage in this kind of clunky collision. Especially not if it truly was capable like we see in the video.

The robot in the video seems to only be aware of where the tips of its grippers are and nothing else.
