Robotics Builder: GPT-6 with Controller-Level Function Calling Could Nail 100 Apple Pick-and-Placements by 2026
wzenus · x · 2026-10-19
Lidang claims that by 2026, GPT-6 paired with gamepad-level function calling could let a robot arm stably complete 100 consecutive pick-and-place cycles on a single apple — a feat no prior VLM or embodied AI approach has managed, albeit very slowly. He calls it a milestone for robotics; the reposter expects foundation models to do this in real time soon.
