## Summary

Liber-0, a World Action Model from Liber AI, lets robots perform zero-shot manipulation without robot demonstrations collected for each task. Across 60 tasks and 600 trials, it succeeded 63.5% of the time on pick-and-place, 34.0% on other manipulation, and 10.5% on challenging multi-step tasks, for 36% overall. The model is pretrained on 2.2M+ hours of human experience.

## Post

This model helps robots learn to manipulate objects physically.

But there's something really interesting about it:

The model learns skills from humans rather than relying on robot demonstrations, which are much more expensive and time-consuming.

Basically, this model lets robots perform zero-shot tasks without training on robot demonstrations collected specifically for those tasks.

They demonstrated this:

• 60 tasks and 600 trials
• 63.5% success on pick-and-place tasks
• 34.0% success on other manipulation tasks
• 10.5% success on challenging/long-horizon tasks
