How Claude Performs on Robotics Tasks

This extensive evaluation reveals that frontier language models can now complete basic robotics tasks when paired with pretrained controllers, but direct motor control remains unreliable. The key insight: a model's real-world capability depends more on its control interface than on the model itself, with clear safety implications for deploying AI with physical world access.
