Episode notes
Home Deployment Enables Rich Learning
- Bernt argues the home provides diverse, social contexts that drive continuous learning and generalization for humanoid robots.
- Scale plus environmental diversity is essential to progress toward AGI through embodied data.
Design For Safety, Capability And Scale
- Design humanoids to be safe, capable, and affordable from first principles to enable mass adoption.
- Simplify mechanics, minimize parts and use manufacturable materials to drive cost down.
Robots Will Outproduce Internet Data
- A fleet of ~10,000 home robots generating continuous, useful interaction data can exceed daily non-duplicated uploads to YouTube.
- Robot-generated physical interaction data will rapidly outstrip internet data for training embodied models.
