Sergey Levine and colleagues (Qiyang Li, Zhiyuan Zhou, Charles Xu) shared a new paper arguing that data quality matters as much as models in robot learning — and that RL can help during data collection.
- RL can assist data gathering for both BC and RL pipelines
- Their "Data Inoculation" is a simple addition to collect better demonstration data
- Demo result: stacking two cubes on top of another cube
