Meta unveils HOT3D dataset for advanced computer vision training

While most humans can innately use their hands to communicate with others or grab and manipulate objects, many existing robotic systems only excel at simple manual tasks. In recent years, computer scientists worldwide have been developing machine learning-based models that can process images of humans completing manual tasks, using acquired information to improve robot manipulation, which could in turn enhance a robot’s interactions with both humans and objects in its surroundings.
