Summary
According to a post on X by @Humanoidguide, AIRoA-0 averaged 78% success across 10 tasks after training on more than 16,000 hours of human recordings and no robot data. Separately, Song Han's team says its open PEAR model went from 0 to 18 of 30 real-robot tests after being trained only in simulation, using the authors' own numbers. The headline describes PEAR as an open 27B model that learns arms from simulation. Both approaches aim to reduce reliance on robot data, which the source describes as a bottleneck.

Humanoid.guide reports AIRoA-0 averaged 78% success across 10 tasks after training on more than 16,000 hours of human recordings and no robot data.

Why it matters
Robotics teams that depend on costly robot-collected data could gain alternative training routes if these results hold up. The PEAR figures come from its authors, so independent testing is the main thing to watch. Next, look for published details on task setup and whether the results repeat on other robots.
