Wristband camera could make robot data collection far cheaper than exoskeletons

CyberRobooo highlights a wristband-camera approach to robot data collection: just record egocentric views and hand manipulation actions — no exoskeletons, no egocentric rigs, no data gloves — potentially making data collection much easier and cheaper.
His core argument: the next step isn't more sophisticated gear for humans to wear, but models better at extracting actionable knowledge from natural, low-cost human behavior and transferring skills across robots and environments. He cites Skild AI's S1, which uses ICL and physical prompting so a single demonstration can teach a robot a new task without retraining — suggesting humans themselves may be the ultimate data collection device.
