AI Vacuum Meltdown: Robot Channels Robin Williams in Hilarious LLM ‘Crash’
LLMs vs. Bots: The “Pass the Butter” Challenge Andon Labs, an AI safety and evaluation company, designed a simple experiment to stress-test modern LLMs in a physical setting. They took a basic office vacuum robot equipped with a camera and LIDAR and gave it several state-of-the-art LLM “brains.” The task was seemingly easy: fetch and pass a stick of butter to a coworker.
