Xiaomi-Robotics-1 shows that more data beats bigger models when training robots to move
Xiaomi trained Xiaomi-Robotics-1 on more than 100,000 hours of motion data collected by people using camera-equipped handheld grippers rather than robots. Adding data improved performance far more than increasing model size. The gains haven't plateaued, though absolute success rates remain low.
