## Summary

An enthusiast asks: given that tactile sensors, various humanoid robots, and grippers already exist, why is training at scale still difficult, and whether software similar to Claude or GPT exists that can transfer a clothes-folding skill from a gripper robot to a humanoid hand. They also ask whether robots must be taught movement and perception one by one, and why no one has yet launched software that solves this problem.
