EPISODE DESCRIPTION

We asked two teams of Anthropic researchers to program a robot dog. Neither team had any robotics expertise—but we let only one team use Claude. In the past, we’ve run simulated studies where Claude trained a robot dog. These helped us assess how Claude might contribute to AI research and development. Project Fetch was us trying something similar in practice. This project suggests that we’re not far from a world where frontier AI models can interact with previously-unknown pieces of hardware, even with non-experts at the helm.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Anthropic, Who let the robot dogs out? explores Anthropic tests Claude’s impact on robot-dog programming and autonomy Anthropic ran a one-day, three-phase robotics challenge to quantify whether Claude accelerates non-roboticists doing a sophisticated physical-world task.
