Yacine proposes an s-expression CAD engine so LLMs can build robot assets themselves
yacineMTB · x · 2026-09-06
Robotics personality YacineMTB floated a geeky pipeline: hand an LLM an s-expression-based CAD program (Manifold CAD) along with its source code, so the model can add features as needed to build robot assets — and even port the program to CUDA first for speed. His framing: this lets a hobbyist 'outdo every robotics researcher' from a phone. It's a provocative direction proposal, not a validated result.
