Researchers plug GPT-6 Astra directly into a robot and let it clean up an unfamiliar kitchen

Most robots need a separate, specially trained control program to turn instructions into movement.

The robot first explores an unfamiliar kitchen, builds a digital twin, then plans and corrects itself while tidying up; latency and compute costs are limits.
