Can we scale robot learning without scaling human labor? 📈 Demonstrations, resets, failure recovery, constant supervision—collecting robot data still takes substantial human effort. 🔑 Three keys let agents take on more of the work: 1.

1/ Real2Sim2Real 🌎 Real-world exploration is slow, costly, and sometimes dangerous. With Recova, a coding agent reconstructs a real robot workstation as a digital twin, then explores tasks, failures, and recovery strategies in simulation. Successful trials become training data, while failures guide the discovery of new recovery skills. The agent handles the trial and error in simulation, then brings the learned skills back to the real world.

2/ Autonomous Recovery 🔄 Recova trains a separate recovery policy alongside the task policy, conditioned on recovery instructions. During real-world rollouts, a vision-language monitor watches the robot. When the task policy fails, the monitor identifies the failure, calls a matching recovery skill, checks that the scene is restored, and resumes the task.

3/ Human-on-Demand Learning 🙋 Recova can run several robot stations in parallel, each watched by a vision-language monitor that handles failures with autonomous recovery. A human steps in only when autonomous recovery falls short. Their demonstration becomes training data for the next round, so similar failures can later be handled without them.

4/ Simulation Benchmarks 📊 Do recovery skills hold up in simulation? We tested on two public benchmarks. On LIBERO-Pro, Recova reaches 78.8% mean success vs. 71.7% for the best published method. On MolmoSpaces, it reaches 64.9% vs. 38.0%.

5/ Recova plays mahjong 🀄😃 The agent picks each move, the arm plays it, and recovery skills step in when something goes wrong.

Huge thanks to my collaborators, and to Cristaldo Campos, Jimmy Wu, and Tingwu Wang for their help with the robot setup and demo filming. 📄 🌐

The scaling bottleneck may be less “collect more data” and more “remove human operations from the collection loop.” I’d watch whether resets, recovery and supervision per useful episode actually fall as the system improves.

great work!

How does the system decide autonomous recovery has failed and a human should step in? A learned success detector, or timeouts and progress thresholds?

So this is like distillation but for robotics right? Cool work

Experiments in progress. The one on the right has been learning for ~3 hours, the one in the middle for ~1 hour, and the one on the left just started a few minutes ago. The initial motivation for making the physical Atari was just to commit ourselves to a subset of algorithms that can make progress in this setup. This commitment rules out algorithms that require billions of samples to learn (or worse, require multiple environments running in parallel). Atari games are simple enough that we should be able to show learning on them in a short amount of time with no prior knowledge. Since then, I've realized that this setup is also a good way to compare different paradigms in robotics in a principled way. These paradigms are sim2real, learning from tele-operated data, and learning directly on the robots. So far, I have observed that getting sim2real to work reliably is hard. It requires tweaks that don't scale. Policies that can play perfectly in simulation fall apart because of latencies and the messiness of the real world. These aspects could be modeled to improve the simulation, but not without sinking significant human engineering hours. I have higher hopes for learning from tele-operated data, but that requires a human to learn the task first. These experiments are on my to-do list. I have to learn to play some of the games well through the robot. I’m half-decent at playing Pong and Ms Pacman now. Learning directly on robots is looking like the most promising approach. This approach takes away pesky distribution shifts and makes it possible to have algorithms that continually improve with more data and time without any human intervention. It feels great to let experiments run overnight and wake up to find improved policies. With learning on robots, I should, in principle, be able to go on a long vacation and come back to find better policies for complex tasks beyond Atari games. Whether that is possible with current learning algorithms is a different question.
