Instance: Automated evaluation for robot policies, starting with the success detector

Today, evaluating a robot policy means humans have to watch the robot roll out, mark success, and reset the scene – we're automating that.

Could you build this?

No Automating physical policy evaluation and success detection for robotics requires advanced computer vision, 3D scene understanding, physical AI research, and specialized hardware-in-the-loop robotics testbeds.

What it would actually take: Building this requires multimodal spatial foundation models or vision-language-action (VLA) models fine-tuned to evaluate fine-grained robotic manipulation tasks from multi-camera feeds and sensor telemetry (depth, proprioception, contact forces). The backend needs real-time video streaming infrastructure integrated with robot middleware (ROS 2, gRPC), automated scene-reset actuators or reset policies, and rigorous ground-truth validation pipelines. It requires PhD-level expertise in physical AI, robotics manipulation, and spatial temporal computer vision.
