yad-use Lets Codex Drive a Real SO-101 Robot Arm via Function Calling
yassineyousfi_ · x · 2026-09-09
Developer Yassine Yousfi open-sourced yad-use, a tiny OpenAI function-calling flow that lets Codex directly control a SO-101 robot arm with an Insta360 camera for vision — demoed pushing a red box. He argues consumer LLMs are now good at seeing, reasoning about physics, and emitting control commands. The repo includes a MuJoCo sim replica registerable as a local MCP server.
