Robot AI is still mostly a duct-taped stack of separate systems

The post argues that most robot AI is still built as a stack of separate components: a generic video model for perception, another module for world tracking, and a third module for deciding actions.
The critique is that this is still a “duct-taped” architecture rather than a single integrated system, implying the field’s real shift will come when robots learn more holistically instead of stitching together disconnected parts.
