A research article highlights the poor performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in controlling robotic arms. The analysis suggests that LLMs struggle with inherent limitations in 3D spatial localization and complex physical reasoning, resulting in precision and robustness that fall short of expectations in embodied intelligence tasks.
