Large-scale language models have already proven to be transformative for robotics. Researchers and companies alike are using platforms to power robot learning, but two roboticists from the University of California, Berkeley and ETH Zurich are leveraging generative AI to make inexpensive robotic arms functional. I tried to make it happen.

Jannik Grothusen and Kasper Janssen trained a $120 robotic arm to clean up spills. Using GPT-4o, the robot was programmed in four days to design a visual language model for human-robot interaction (HRI). The motion was trained using approximately 100 demos.
If you want a robot to help you clean your home, The Robot Studio has a plan on YouTube for building an arm on a budget.
