Robot AI improves, but general-purpose use still lags
What happened
MIT Technology Review reported on October 8 that AI is improving robot manipulation, but general-purpose robots remain far from reliable use in homes and factories. Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics handles some trained complex tasks, yet likely fails on tasks outside its training set. Physical Intelligence's π0.7 showed it can combine existing skills and attempt new tasks, though the demo did not fully complete them. The progress shows robot capability is rising, but not enough to change daily life soon.
