Editorial opinion startupxo

It's impressive that people are recording their daily behaviors using sensors and smartphones to create training data for robots. However, I'm curious about how many participants are actually involved and how diverse their behavior patterns are. I also wonder what specific improvements in robot performance result from this data. It would be good to check whether sensor-based recordings truly capture a comprehensive and unbiased range of human behaviors.
