• Abstract: Metaverse has evolved as one of the popular research agendas that let the users learn, socialize, and collaborate in a networked 3D immersive virtual world. Due to the rich multimedia streaming capability and immersive user experience with high-speed communication, the metaverse is an ideal model for education, training, and skill development tasks. To facilitate research in this area, we provide a comprehensive review of the various educational use cases and explore how enabling technologies such as Extended reality (XR) and Internet of Everything (IoE) will play a major role in educational services in future metaverses. Secondly, we provide an overview of metaverse-based educational applications focusing on education, training, and skill development and analyze the technologies they are built upon. We identify common research problems and future research directions in the domain. The paper also identifies core ethical considerations of metaverse for education and potential pitfalls. We believe this survey can fully demonstrate the versatility of metaverse-driven education, which could serve as a potential guideline for the researchers.

  Scaling deep learning to huge internet-scraped datasets has yielded remarkably general capabilities in natural language processing and visual understanding and generation. Data is scarce and expensive to collect in robotics. This has seen robot learning struggle to match the generality of capabilities observed in other domains. Learning from Videos (LfV) methods seek to address this data bottleneck by augmenting traditional robot data with large internet-scraped video datasets.
