SALA connects separately recorded human and robot videos through atomic-action descriptions, using graded semantic relationships to align human-video latents with robot latents grounded by robot-action reconstruction. Its policy learns from both video types with one action expert. On a 63-DoF robot, 2,678 hours of human-video pre-training reduced held-out action error by 2.21% versus none; increasing human demonstrations raised success by 18.75 percentage points in these tests.
