Not to rag on Chelsea Finn, who I am certain is brilliant but,

  1. I can't understand her. She falls into the classic ML research habit of defining very specialized new terms or new frameworks without bothering to explain it in the context of what everybody else is already familiar with.
  2. In the same vein, basically no comment on how their methods compete with say, traditional methods. You are doing a robot grasping, I'm not sure if you are the first one to do this.
  3. All the robot money comes from DARPA and Office of Naval Research, which I guess comes from killing brown people overseas? Yes...DARPA/ONR is part of America's big weapon's industry. They literally have .mil in their website names.
