Why it matters

Few-shot learning in robotics represents a meaningful leap in model generalization. If GEN-1.5 reliably transfers from single demonstrations to real-world execution, it signals progress on a frontier bottleneck: reducing the data and iteration overhead that keeps robot deployments expensive and slow.
