>> Good demo and I can see how you might make it do all sorts of things that are vaguely useful that way. Unfortunately since that's a demo you have most likely seen all the sorts of things that are vaguely useful and that can be done easily, or at all. Edit: Btw, the coffee task video says that the "AI" is "end-to-end neural networks". If I understand correctly that means an LLM was not involved in carrying out the task. At most an LLM may have been used to trigger the activation of the task, that was learned by a different method, probably some kind of imitation learning with deep RL. Also, to see how much of a tech demo this is: the robot starts already in position in front of a clear desk and a human brings the coffee machine, positions it just so, places the cup in the holder and places a single coffee pod just so. Then the robot takes the coffee pod from the empty desk and places it in the machine, then pushes the button. That's all the interaction of the robot with the machine. The human collects the cup and makes a thumbs up. Consider for a moment how much different is this laboratory instance of the task from any real-world instance. In my kitchen the coffee machine is on a cluttered surface with tins of coffee, a toaster, sometimes the group left on the machine, etc. etc - and I don't even use coffee pods but loose coffee. The robot you see has been trained to put that one pod placed in that particular spot in that one machine placed just so in front of it. It would have to be trained all over again to carry out the same task on my machine, it is uncertain if it could learn it successfully after thousands of demonstrations (because of all the clutter), and even if it did, it would still have to learn it all over again if I moved the coffee machine, or moved the tins, or the toaster; let alone if you wanted it to use your coffee machine (different colour, make, size, shape, etc) in your kitchen (different chaotic environment) (no offense meant). Take the other video of the "real world task". That's the robot shuffling across a flat, clean surface and picking up an empty crate to put in an empty conveyor belt. That's just not a real world task. Those are tech demos and you should not put much faith in them. That kind of thing takes an insane amount of work to set up just for one video, you rarely see the outtakes and it very, very rarely generalises to real-world utility.
