GPT-6 Astra drives a robot arm on first try via physical ICL; Ken Goldberg touts Agentic Robotics

- A viral demo claims GPT-6 Astra supports physical in-context learning out of the box: the team dropped a human recording of a novel task into the Codex app, prompted it to drive a robot arm the same way, and it worked on the first pass.
- Ken Goldberg (UC Berkeley / AUTOLab) amplified it, arguing Agentic Robotics is "on fire": by bridging model-based and model-free methods it combines the best of both. To tackle latency, AR now generates executable ROS2 code, and he says the frontier is now harness design.
