This model helps robots learn to manipulate objects physically. But there's something really interesting about it: The model learns skills from humans rather than relying on robot demonstrations, which are much more expensive and time-consuming. Basically, this model lets robots perform zero-shot tasks without training on robot demonstrations collected specifically for those tasks. They demonstrated this: • 60 tasks and 600 trials • 63.5% success on pick-and-place tasks • 34.0% success on other manipulation tasks • 10.5% success on challenging/long-horizon tasks
