Robot sorting after 5h of training data, light box left OOD—diverse data is key

philfung · x · 2026-09-15

A developer shared new results in robot pick-and-sort training: 5 hours of data, the full box rather than just the top tray, and the light box deliberately excluded from training data as an out-of-distribution test. Not perfect and still makes occasional mistakes, but overall solid. The author's takeaway: diverse data is the key. Commenters asked whether work can continue after an error occurs.
