This is amazing! As someone working with industrial robots, normally under strict environmental constraints and control, witnessing such real-world robotics progress truly excites me about the future!

By the way, they’ve open-sourced their π0 model (code and model weights). More information can be found here: https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi

It seems robotics has advanced more in the last 3 years than the previous 20.

the torrent of funding helps here

The vision language action models and the two level slow planning and fast control LLMs seem to be a big breakthrough.

ML helps here and the progress Nvidia made with their robotics platform.

But mostly OpenCV, in its excellent C++ and python variants. Not everything is modern ML heuristics, some classic AI is also needed still.
