From Pixels to Space: Teaching Robots What 'One Centimeter' Means
from AI and the Human Future Hosted by Daniel Altman and Emily Carter
Watering flowers while hovering one to five centimeters above each bloom is trivial for a child and brutal for frontier AI — Gemini-2.5-Pro scores 3% on a new 3D trajectory benchmark while a layered system called RoboTracer hits 45%. Daniel and Emily unpack spatial intelligence, Fei-Fei Li's world-model bet, and how much of it survives contact with a real kitchen. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies.
