UT Dallas professor Yu Xiang argues robotics needs to leverage models like GPT-6: their image understanding and 3D reconstruction suggest they already grasp a lot about the physical world—the key is connecting that understanding to robot actions. AI researcher Chris Paxton quips that the field is back in its "robots should leverage GPT" phase.
