“I would say identification and routings are typically more considered a more solved problem than grasping. Like, because if you, there are other, like, more mechanical way to solve those problems. Like, you can design a piece of conveyor that, like, if you always put an item to the same place, then you can route it to a design location. And so, like, that becomes mostly a mechanical problem, and anything that is a mechanical problem is typically more solved. And so that is very much true. Like, I would say, like, out of this Grasping identification and routing, like definitely the grasping part involves more AI”

Chen: Scaling robotics foundation models requires commercial robot fleets, not labs
“And the only way to collect enough data is to build fleets of robots that are actually creating value for customers that, so that you can collect those data in production. Because even if you try to scale up data collection in a lab environment, There's a limi…”
Chen: Robotics value does not require emergent scaling due to domain data coverage
“You kind of don't need that when you are in a more Restricted domain, like robotics because like you actually could have so much data coverage that your test scenarios are just part of your training scenario. So to some degree, like we actually don't need to r…”
Chen: Simulating robotic manipulation is harder than autonomous driving due to contact
“When you think about simulation in self-driving car, like we are really mostly thinking about systems that hopefully don't physically interact with each other, right? Like if two cars get in contact with each other, that's a really terrible thing, right? And s…”
Chen: Next-token LLM training is mimicry, imposing a natural capability ceiling
“For people that study reinforcement learning, we call it behavior cloning, which means you're just asking the AI to clone the behavior of another agent. And that is like one of the most primitive way possible to train this type of systems. Like, because if you…”
