Markov Robotics demos sub-millimeter pick and place, highlighting zero-shot generalization for physical AGI
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-02
Markov Robotics demonstrated a robot arm picking up sub-millimeter objects (a fake bill) at low frequency. The policy was never trained on this or similar objects, showcasing precision on out-of-distribution tasks. The author argues that zero-shot generalization is the only path to physical AGI.
