Ropedia A0 runs code-only robot policies: 70.2% on 42 bimanual tasks vs 31.4% baseline

Ropedia's A0 (Code-Only-as-Policy) removes models from the robot control loop entirely. Claude Opus 5.5 coding agents autonomously build a shared skill library offline via parallel, tested git branches; new tasks reuse 83% of code from the library. At runtime a frozen program reads object poses from three RGB cameras plus proprioception and decides everything from that state. Results: 70.2% success on RoboDojo's 42 bimanual simulation tasks vs 31.4% for the best leaderboard entry, leading all five categories; a from-scratch task hits 47% after 15 hours of agent development. Caveat: perception leans on benchmark camera parameters, robot meshes and object sizes — a major limitation for real robots. Agents act as developers, not controllers.
