Co-author of the paper here. That is a good high-level summary of the approach :).

Generating useful "simple"/"low-level" goals automatically indeed is an interesting avenue for pushing this further.

Hi Tobias, thanks for dropping into the thread.

When this kind of software becomes mature enough that a consultant can install a robotic arm on a factory line, and quickly (several hours) train it to do the job of a factory line worker, there will be a massive economic incentive to do so.

How far do you think we are from this level of maturity? What are the remaining steps required to reach that level?
