GPT-6 Astra appears in robot demos handling task understanding and motion planning
A post says Astra handles task and scene understanding plus motion planning in robot demos, while KPI converts those high-level intentions into real-time force and contact control, and asks whether foundation models will absorb today's specialized Physical AI stack.
GPT-6 Astra is already showing up in more and more robot demos. KPI offers a glimpse of what that could mean. Astra handles the task, scene understanding and motion planning. KPI then turns those high-level intentions into real-time physical interaction, adjusting stiffness, damping, force and motion as the robot makes contact with the world. Astra decides what to do. KPI helps the robot figure out how to physically do it. Let's discuss this-- As foundation models learn more from robots and real-world experience, how much of today’s specialized Physical AI stack will eventually be absorbed into the foundation model itself? What's your take on this?
