Anthropic Tests Claude on Physical Robots
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-07-15
Anthropic is testing humanoid and quadrupedal robots, as detailed in their latest research, Claude Plays Robotics.
Key points include:
- Claude is used to control real robots, covering various interfaces from low-level torque control to high-level VLA supervision.
- The Unitree Go2 can stably perform balancing, walking, and basic navigation, primarily relying on pre-trained policies.
- The Unitree G1 remains more challenging, but has shown significant improvements in balancing.
- Newer Claude models (Opus 4.6/4.7, Mythos Preview) perform better on high-level tasks like grasping and object manipulation. The gap in low-level control is steadily narrowing.
