UC Berkeley Professor Ken Goldberg highlighted a significant "data gap" in robotics compared to large language models, noting that current robot manipulation data is equivalent to only a few years of human reading time, versus 100,000 years for LLMs. He argued that while scaling laws have driven LLM progress, an over-reliance on data alone for embodied AI might be misplaced. Goldberg proposed that a combination of traditional engineering principles, such as robust system architecture and physical modeling, alongside data-driven approaches like Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models, is crucial for advancing robotics.
