Robots acting 'unexpectedly clever': AgenticGenTAMP thread showcases emergent behaviors
tomssilver · x · 2026-09-25
In a thread, Tom Silver explains that unexpected robot behavior usually means a bug—but AgenticGenTAMP produced physical reasoning so clever that none of the project members anticipated it, a rare experience in his career. He shares several examples: expected-vs-actual comparisons, his favorite 2D case, and a slower-but-perhaps-more-robust solution. The project accompanies a large-scale sandboxed evaluation preprint: 98,000 evaluations across 28 simulated environments.
