Collecting enough demonstrations for robots to learn dexterous manipulation tasks is expensive and time-consuming. This work combines immersive VR interfaces for faster data collection with uncertainty-guided correction—a system that flags which failures the robot should learn from, filtering out redundant expert feedback. The approach reduces wasted expert time on low-value corrections.
