Robot Data Collection Requires Learning Understanding

The author argues that it is difficult to collect high-quality robotic data without an understanding of robot learning.
This responds to a cited post claiming that "many companies doing robot data collection are doing it wrong." The author emphasizes that the core issue isn't just about the "volume of data collected," but whether there is a fundamental understanding of robot learning itself.
