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

Researchers from Stanford and Caltech have developed a system called HomeBody that allows a humanoid robot to clean unfamiliar environments by connecting GPT-6 Astra directly to its physical control functions. By bypassing the traditional requirement for specialized training layers, this approach enables the model to autonomously execute navigation and grasping tasks. This demonstration signals a move toward more generalized robotics, showing how large language models could potentially manage complex domestic labor without needing custom software for every new setting.
