Robot Prompting Demo: guiding models to perform wallet retrieval
Majumdar_Ani · x · 2026-08-21
Pete Florence shares a video demonstrating the effect of prompting on robot behavior: without a prompt, the model babbles; with a prompt to take money from a pouch, it generalizes to retrieving from a wallet. Ani Majumdar suggests testing an extreme zero-shot version to isolate the benefit of prompting versus pure task inference, citing a similar demo by Russ Tedrake on LBMs.
