Cortex Harness demo lets a human remotely take over a robot
Cortex Harness supports general models like GPT-6 Astra and robot-native VLA models, and demoed an operator in Singapore taking over a San Francisco robot for hard steps, recording recovery trajectories for training.

Cortex Harness feels like a Physical AI agent platform. It supports general-purpose models like GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, Claude Fable 5.1... alongside robot-native VLA models like MolmoAct2 and pi0.5. TBH, this demo is really cool-- A person in Singapore can remotely take over a robot in San Francisco, handle the difficult part of a task, then hand control back to the AI. Cortex Harness records where the model got stuck, what the human did, and how the task continued. Those recovery trajectories can then be used for further training. The loop could help make robots more reliable and practical for real-world deployment.
