Deployment is where physical AI grows up — and its most important data source, per Tedrake's CoRL talk

Google DeepMind researcher mwulfmeier says his biggest regret about missing CoRL was Russ Tedrake's talk, quoting its core thesis: deployment is where physical AI will grow up — and it will become the most important data source you can imagine.
The point reflects a growing consensus in robotics: data generated from real-world deployments may outweigh manually collected or simulated data.
