Latest update (11-09 18:43): Apple paper finds a general AI model controlling a robot arm beats specialist policies

Overview: Apple researchers report that AMP1, a harness that lets a general AI model, Claude Opus 5.5, control a robot arm directly, succeeded in 85.6% of RoboLab-120 episodes without demonstrations or task training. The best vision-language-action model reached 49.2% and the best world-action model 42.9%, according to the paper as reported on X by Rohan Paul.

On a real Franka arm, AMP1 succeeded in 104 of 108 trials. The robot waits for the model for much of each episode, according to the same report.
