Robotics data and evals demand massive VLM and human-in-the-loop annotation work
paigeinsf · x · 2026-09-19
Practitioner paigeinsf observes that the amount of VLM and human-in-the-loop work required for robotics data and evaluation is tremendous — particularly language annotation in video post-processing and sub-action metric annotation for evals — highlighting a commonly underestimated cost in embodied AI data pipelines.
