Briefing
Knight started from a prebuilt LeRobot kit: a leader arm and a follower arm with a camera. Setting it up by hand took him hours, and wrong settings nearly overheated the motors before the agents took over. After OpenClaw's training runs, he writes, the arm picked up objects. Another clip shows a wave the agent came up with.
Wired calls the arm "LeRobot 101". The article, published 20 May 2026, also covers Ken Goldberg's CaP-X benchmark for robot programming, which ranked Gemini above Claude and ChatGPT.
