GPT-6 Astra evaluated as embodied robot policy across six domains

A new paper explores the capabilities of GPT-6 Astra, a model designed for embodied policies in robotics. The research evaluates Astra's performance across six domains, including manipulation, mobile manipulation, navigation, locomotion, and humanoid loco-manipulation. While Astra shows promise in tasks like instruction following and object search, it struggles with reliable physical control and dense motion-reference generation. The study highlights a discrepancy between useful task decision-making and consistent physical execution, with inference latency also posing a practical challenge. AI

IMPACT This research highlights limitations in current LLMs for real-world robotic control, suggesting further development is needed for reliable physical execution.
