EmbodiedSWE distills coding agents into robot policies for long-horizon control
PeterHndrsn · x · 2026-09-24
- EmbodiedSWE, a collaboration across Princeton, Yale, CMU and Stanford, asks whether coding agents can solve complex long-horizon robotics control tasks and whether those solutions can train VLAs.
- Key findings: GPT-6 can handle robotics tasks far more long-horizon and dexterous than any VLA; the team shows how far coding agents go and scalably converts their solutions into large amounts of diverse demonstrations, yielding better generalization and real-robot transfer.
- Co-author PeterHndrsn adds that Astra performs very well on this benchmark.
