Current robotics models face limitations in extending their capabilities beyond short, several-minute tasks due to a restricted ability to recall past actions. While some models can retain information for up to 15 minutes by compressing observations, they struggle to reliably string together numerous diverse subtasks. Experts suggest that the focus for robotics foundation model companies should be on developing low-level, short-horizon tasks, with general-purpose AI companies handling long-term planning and execution. However, the seamless integration of short-term task completion with long-term planning remains a challenge, as human task execution often involves learning and adapting overall plans in real-time.
