Chris Paxton highlights a zero-shot sim-to-real result for the Asimov robot, calling it an important achievement. He argues the community often understates how much the worldwide research ecosystem around Unitree G1 robots made sim-to-real comparatively "easy" — a crowd-sourced effect worth recognizing for anyone building robots.
