Robot product builders should let users test on their own Hugging Face data

Testing on a robot customer’s own Hugging Face dataset is crucial when building for roboticists, because polished demo videos often hide weak products. Seeing the product run on a user’s own data is the strongest way to build trust, since users know their data best and can judge real signal instead of marketing polish.
