A recent salon convened nearly 200 experts in embodied AI to discuss the challenges of moving robots from labs to the real world, focusing on data collection and model training. Participants highlighted that current data collection methods are inefficient and costly, with a significant portion of collected data being unusable for training. The discussion also touched upon the need for better data alignment, standardized evaluation benchmarks, and the potential of pre-training paradigms similar to those used in large language models. AI
