CoRL 2026: a robot shot my Polaroid, a Cybercab drove me around — what evidence would convince you?
bousmalis · x · 2026-11-14
A retweet circulating from a CoRL 2026 attendee (amplified by Google DeepMind's Kory Mathewson): a robot took his Polaroid photo at the conference ("A ROBOT TOOK THIS PICTURE" sticker included), and a Tesla Cybercab drove him for a ride.
The original poster's question: what evidence would convince us these systems can handle the days when things don't go to plan? The humanoid demos make that question harder to ignore. Photos also show the Gemini Robotics booth on the floor.
