If they think this plan of "connecting" word to actions is promising then they should ask it to tie a shoelace based on "natural language" description. I'm shocked. I really did not expect that MIT would foster such naivety. They completely disregard the fact that natural language is a very crude description of physical actions. Perhaps next they will include in the instructions numerical values, and rediscover CNC.

Indeed, I wonder if natural language is the right interface to this problem.

Reading earlier mathematical texts (eg, Euclid's Elements) and their "natural language" proofs reminds me that a picture is truly worth a thousand words!
