The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“things like moving around balls on a table, like yeah,”
“I can imagine that working.”
“I can also imagine the same thing working with like an NMPC controller.”
“I could say it gets stuck and use the other hand to move it around.”
“An NMPC controller can come up with this, right?”
“It would start planning and would figure out, okay, I need to do something like this, assuming that the model is accurate enough.”Play from 2:11:00Report a misattribution
