Briefing
The agent harness runs on Raviv's laptop, not on the robot. It reaches the Raspberry Pi on the car over a terminal, sends motion commands as text and gets camera photos and ultrasonic readings back. Raviv compares it with computer use, where Claude works from screenshots and clicks. Through Claude Desktop the robot also had his calendar and email.
Spatial reasoning was the weak point. A fast 360-degree scan swung past the door without a photo of it, turns overshot, and the robot learned not to trust the ultrasonic sensor near feet. It stored what worked as text files and reused it later the same day. Raviv says he cut the video heavily; the robot paused for long stretches between actions.
