- axpey showed a $995 mobile robot, controlled by GPT-6 Astra, zero-shotting the task of opening a cabinet door.
- Standout detail: the robot noticed its gripper slipped, retried on its own, and succeeded — even rotating naturally around the door axis.
- Observers argue the demo matters more than most realize: a low-cost robot driven by a general model showing genuine error detection and correction, not scripted motions.
