Humanoid Robot Training Follows Scaling Laws
casper_hansen_ · x · 2026-07-13
A talk by Jim Fan discussed pre-training and post-training for humanoid robots, with the core takeaway being that robotics data is scaling similarly to LLMs:
- Robotics is also experiencing scaling laws driven by data size.
- Teams are actively looking for easier and more efficient data collection methods.
- This indicates that the training paradigm for embodied AI is converging with the practices of large model training.
