Claude Opus 5.5 rebuilds an arm-equipped robot vacuum step by step
Claude Opus 5.5 was asked to rebuild an arm-equipped robot vacuum and show each step: laser mapping first, arm folded under a lid hatch, two fingers and a rolling wrist to pinch socks.
Wish I'd seen this before I bought my robot vacuum. Robot vacuums with arms just showed up, so I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to rebuild one and show every step. Here's the trick: > It maps the floor with a laser first, so it knows the sock is in its lane before it gets there. > The arm stays folded inside the body and only comes out through a hatch in the lid. > Two fingers and a rolling wrist let it pinch a sock from any side. > The article's prompt starts from 4 things: the object, the steps, a window into the part doing the work, and one big idea. How to build your own is in the article 👇
