This work (RoboAgent) is not a run of the mill result. It might look not as shiny as Boston Dynamic does the demos, but it's an actual improvement of what's possible. One of the biggest issues with Robotics is that it's really hard to program the robots. The ability to set the tasks to a robot with a language brings the complexity down and makes it potentially accessible to regular people. We are not there yet, but RoboAgent is a fine step towards that direction. Let's hope that the code will be released soon as promised at https://github.com/robopen/roboagent/ https://github.com/robopen/roboagent/. RoboAgent is much better than RT-1, and comparable to RT-2. But the latter is not open-source, and so has a limited usefulness in advancing the state of art (unfortunately). Dismissing great results only because they don't have a video with $100k production budget is not what science is about.
