Why traditional robotics data collection is obsolete and what replaces it

therobotreport.com·May 8, 2026

In the latest episode of _The Robot Report_ Podcast, Eric Chan, co-founder of Rhoda AI, discusses the limitations of traditional robotics data collection and introduces a novel approach using direct video action (DVA) models to train robots more efficiently with internet video data. This method aims to address data shortages and enhance real-world robotic applications.

Rhoda AI's innovative use of a direct video action (DVA) model, which leverages internet video data to train intelligent robots, offers a significant advancement in robotics data collection. This approach provides an efficient solution to the data scarcity problem, enabling more complex task execution with minimal training, and presents a potential pathway for integrating zero-shot learning into real-world robotic applications. As a professional in the field, exploring or investing in such models could position you at the forefront of robotics AI development and deployment.
