Latest update (11-12 02:11): Cao Ting says embodied AI is now chasing self-evolution as data factories cool

Overview: Tsinghua AIR professor Cao Ting tells Leiphone that robots trained offline still fail in real settings, so research teams are turning to in-context learning. She says her group's Zeva and Zeva-Ego models extract action-effect pairs from video, and that Zeva-Ego was trained on about 10K hours of unlabeled ego data.

Cao says factory deployment still relies on fine-tuning to reach 99% precision. She argues that physical self-improvement is needed for robots to learn beyond their training data.
