Researchers have investigated the visibility of manipulation failures in robot learning, specifically focusing on "false successes" where a robot incorrectly logs a task as complete. Their study used simulated robotic tasks, comparing detectors that relied solely on proprioceptive data versus those incorporating vision. The findings indicate that the recoverability of these false successes varies significantly by task, with some being largely detectable from joint data alone, while others require visual input to identify the errors.
