Robotics has made huge progress in perception and hardware. But despite decades of effort, robots still fail in open, real-world environments.
The problem isn't better cameras or bigger policies. It's that robots don't understand consequences. They act — but they don't reason about what will happen next.
As robots move from demos to deployment, decision-making -- not perception -- has become the bottleneck. Scaling robotics now means scaling decisions, not scripts.
