A technical discussion on teleoperation data collection limitations for robotics—specifically how raw RGB + joint state streams miss affordance, contact intent, and embodiment context that can't be recovered post-hoc. The post explores whether real-time annotation during capture (rather than post-hoc labeling) could bridge this semantic gap for contact-rich manipulation tasks, relevant for engineers building robot learning systems.
