It's not VLAs vs World Models; production robotics needs both in addition to model-based methods, all integrated by agentic coding. At ICRA last week I presented a perspective on divisions in our field, including Specialist vs Generalist, etc: https://bit.ly/Agentic-Robotics-plenary-by-Ken-Goldberg
