LLM vs. WAM: Astra vs. Dream-1. Round 3. Cup stacking. Same arms. Same task. Zero-shot. A: 1:06
B: 0:41 Both finish. Which one is the LLM? A or B? Defend your pick. #Robotics #EmbodiedAI

Time for the reveal. A = Dream-1 (WAM) B = GPT-6 Astra (LLM) Did you call it? Thanks for playing! Mystery gift winner announcement coming soon.

LLM vs. WAM: Astra vs. Dream-1. Round 2. Same bimanual arms. Same marker handover task. Zero-shot. A fails. B succeeds. Which one is the LLM? A or B? Defend your pick. #Robotics #EmbodiedAI

An agent explores on a real robot for 2 hours, then runs the skills it learned as code. That’s RAX. No demonstrations. No teleoperation. Just exploration turned into reusable robot skills. @RunhanH @xczhangxx @du_yilun @pabbeel @wangyenjen #Robotics #EmbodiedAI

Can an LLM control a real robot zero-shot? GPT-6 Astra × xArm × Wuji Hand 2. Locate. Plan. Grasp. Lift. Release. Cube into bowl. Bottle upright. No task-specific demos. How far can this approach scale? #Robotics #EmbodiedAI

Same AI brain. 3 different robot bodies. Does it still work? We ran 4 frontier LLMs on an AgileX Piper, a UFactory xArm and an I2RT YAM. Same task, same prompt, same action space. The body changes how the brain fails

Went to Dexterity Day at @RoboticsCtr yesterday. Yes, on Saturdays we also do tech. Around 200 people talking robot hands, data and deployment, and great meeting new people like @Lakshya__Bakshi and @abhihjoshi 🧵
