    Alex Gajewski@apagajewskiFrontier language models are quite strong robot policies! There are many cool demos floating around twitter, but we wanted to run a larger systematic test on real robots. Some interesting results on the trade-offs between thinking harder and acting slower, recommend reading the post!20d

    Chris Paxton@chris_j_paxtona real-world test of robot control! And tellingly its being done with fable and astra, not (insert robotics foundation model here) time for some more soul searching on the part of my field i think20d
    Ryan White@AdDadRyanWI’d focus on the teleop gap. 35% and 15% both say contact-rich manipulation is still unsolved.19d
