A robotics paper may be outdated before it’s published. That’s the pace @saturdayrobotic founder @junfanzhu98 is trying to keep up with. Full article: ai.42how.com/en/article/a64… Key takeaways of the interview: • GPT-6 Astra could make simulation cheaper—but real-world surprises remain hard to reproduce. • Touch: underrated, and still difficult to scale • Benchmarks: success or failure alone misses near-misses, force and reliability Saturday Robotics grew from a 30-person reading club into a forum connecting researchers and builders across the US and China within 6 months. In a field moving this fast, keeping disagreements open may be more useful than declaring a winner too early.
