Robot manipulation datasets have grown far slower than the models trained on them, mostly because collection stays closed and centralized. Expert operators gather demonstrations on lab hardware, process them offline, and ship a fixed benchmark that never grows again. A research team from Axis Robotics, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, NTU… is proposing a different shape
