The Embodiment Revolution
2026 robots are controlled by LLMs fine-tuned on robotics data. They understand natural language commands and generalize to novel situations.
RT-3: Robotics Transformer
Google's model trained on 100,000 robotics trajectories:
- Zero-shot generalization to new objects
- Long-horizon task planning
- Failure recovery and error correction
Palm-E and Beyond
- Embodied multimodal LLMs
- Visual + language + robot state inputs
- Action token outputs for robot control
