Skild's S1 robot watches one wheel-mount demo, then self-corrects when the wheel misaligns

Skild's S1 robot showed human-like task generalization: after watching a single video of a human attaching a wheel, it re-aligned the wheel on its own during deployment when it didn't fit — the prompt video contained no recovery demonstration.

Per Deepak Pathak, S1 watches the prompt to grasp the goal and improvises to reach it, retrying when it makes mistakes — a line between scripted motion and autonomous intent.
