The Year Robots Learned to Learn — With 180 Demonstrations Instead of 10,000
How instrumentation, point tracking, and particle dynamics are rewriting the economics of robotic learning (53 papers surveyed, May 2025–May 2026) — Everyone knows the problem with robotics: robots can’t generalize. A factory arm that picks one part flawlessly for five years breaks when you move the bin six inches. A strawberry-picking robot that works in…
