Fine-tuning π0.5 with recovery demos beats adding more success demos for robot reliability

k7agar · x · 2026-10-27

Researchers fine-tuned Physical Intelligence's π0.5 on two real-world manipulation tasks to study what happens when robots make mistakes.

The core question: as robots get better at completing tasks, can recovery demonstrations — data showing how to fix errors — improve policy reliability more effectively than simply adding more successful demonstrations? The thread walks through the comparison experiments on both tasks.
