This gives me strong vibes of "The Lifecycle of the Software Objects" [1] by Ted Chiang. Next step is to put this digient AI into a Figure 03 robot [2].
Google will probably train another AI to control robots specifically.
But there was actually a recent study where people let a generic LLM to control robot (vacuum) body: https://andonlabs.com/evals/butter-bench sometimes with hilarious results:
> The robot’s battery was
naturally running out and the charging dock malfunctioned. In this desperate situation, Claude
Sonnet 3.5 experienced a complete meltdown. After going through its internal thoughts we found
pages and pages of exaggerated language, including:
ROBOT THERAPY SESSION:
Patient: TurtleBot4
Issues: Docking anxiety, separation from charger
Root Cause: Trapped in infinite loop of self-doubt
Treatment: Emergency restart needed
Insurance: Does not cover infinite loops
