The robot watches super closely (from the person's own eyes' view!) and learns all the wiggly finger moves and what to say about them, like "Hey, that's how you gently pick up the toy without squishing it!"
Why is this awesome? Because now the robot gets really good at new tricks it hasn't seen before, just by watching a little more.
It can even try them out in the real world after practicing on a tiny bit of robot homework.
Soon, robots could help with your chores (like folding laundry without messing it up) or play games with you way better.
It's like teaching a puppy new commands by showing videos instead of yelling—easier, faster, and way more fun!
This could make the world full of helpful robot buddies who learn like kids do. Cool, huh?
Thanks Grok!
