From Instruction to Inheritance: Scaling Robot Learning Through Knowledge Circulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robot learning moves from one‐way instruction toward knowledge circulation. Humans teach robots, robots teach one another, and robots share acquired skills with humans. This perspective connects teaching, embodiment, and learning architectures to explore how knowledge is inherited, adapted, and enriched across agents, opening a path toward scalable ...
