> challenge of low-level motor control for object manipulation with raw
> sensory observations remains unresolved, primarily due to the lack of robot
> state and action data during manipulation. This issue is particularly
> pronounced in tasks requiring multi-finger coordination and fine tactile
> sensing. Addressing the data problem is essential, as many modalities of
> robotic data, such as tactile and proprioceptive information, are not
> readily available online. The key scientific questions in this domain are:
> (i) how to collect data, (ii) what data to collect, and (iii) how to learn
> effectively from such data. In this talk, I will (i) introduce a novel
> paradigm for data collection through the design of innovative interaction
> interfaces, (ii) demonstrate how identifying key dimensions for scaling
> data can enable human-level robotic grasping, and (iii) present methods and
> insights on efficiently learning from heterogeneous robotic data.
