    From the article:

    Benjie Holson proposed a set of "Robot Olympics" challenge tasks in a recent blog post,, with seemingly simple everyday behaviors like spreading peanut butter, washing a greasy pan, putting a key in a lock, and turning socks inside-out. These challenge tasks might not seem as cognitively demanding as math olympiad problems, but robotics experts believe they present exceptional challenges for autonomous robots.

    We wanted to see how many of these tasks we could tackle just by fine-tuning our latest model, based on π0.6.

    That's very cool. The degree to which it was able to do those tasks definitely makes me look forward to a Mr. Handy in my lifetime. They're sooooo handy!
