Hats off to π for also evaluating on other very interesting bimanual long-horizon tasks like folding cardboard boxes and refilling a roll of paper towels. It’s also refreshing to see continuous-valued success metrics and examples of failure modes in the last section of the post. https://t.co/tsq4aEEU75
