These robots are aiming for far more intricate work and have a severe lack of access to training data.

I'll bet that all the data being harvested by smart glasses is now going to train those models. Basically it provides a first-person view of someone doing stuff with their hands all day, walking around, talking, etc.

Problem is that is too indirect. Imagine trying to do that intricate work on sight alone. Like trying to do stuff with numb hands. Without tactile feedback, we are useless in a lot of these tasks. But the tactile feedback is not instrumented. To the extent that machine learning works, it needs to have all the inputs and outputs instrumented, and feeling is left out.

We can see something done and have an explanation and internalize it and then 'get a feel for it' later. But AI doesn't currently feature this ability to really translate that sort of instruction to an entirely different set of sensation.
