I don't see any breakthrough here. I think it's simple marketing: "We're among the first using a variant of LLMs to enhance robotic behaviors."

The first pancake sequence starts with the pancake half off the baking surface and in danger of falling to the floor. So the device pushes the pancake back onto the baking surface. Good enuf if the pancake is "stiff" (already cooked and rigid). So hope you like your pancakes well-done!

And the pancake-flipper doesn't flip the pancake - it slides the spatula under the pancake and then, just like a robot, rotates the spatula until the pancake drops. In any case, fuggeddabout "eggs over easy".




I don't see any innovation here. I think it's simple hype: "We're among the first to use a variant of these 'horseless carriages' to enhance mobility."

The first jaunt starts with the vehicle half off the pathway and in danger of colliding with a fence. So the operator manipulates the wheel to guide the contraption back onto the path. Fine enough if the path is "level" (already flattened and firm). So hope you enjoy your rides on well-paved roads!

And the operator doesn't truly control the vehicle - they merely grasp the steering device and then, just like a carriage driver, rotate the wheel until the vehicle alters its direction. In any case, fuggeddabout "tranquil and fragrant travels".
