Robotic Evals

1•andrewlyu•49m ago
Hey I am part of a small team training robotics policies for warehouse and manufacturing settings, and running rigorous evals is turning out to be so painful. Anything below 50 rollouts, and its hard to trust the numbers, and above its so hard to test all the checkpoints that we have. Its really hard to run a bunch of experiments to get good results. Have you guys faced this? Any hacks that you've developed?
