Argon reads the Spot SDK docs by itself and teaches Boston Dynamics' robot dog to trash a can
ki_ki_ki1 · x · 2026-10-14
A developer demoed Gemini 4 Argon controlling a Boston Dynamics Spot: the model went through the API, downloaded the SDK documentation on its own to understand it, and quickly built a skill to pick up a can and use its foot to push the pedal to drop it into a bin — even doing the voice-over for the demo video. A showcase of autonomous doc-reading, code-writing, and physical robot control.
