Show HN: Letting an LLM write robot programs

Category: ai-ml

Tags: robotics, llm-integration, simulation, browser-based, motion-planning

Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

A web-based system that translates natural language instructions into executable robot trajectories for a Franka Panda arm, using an LLM to generate symbolic tool calls (like pick/place) which are resolved into waypoints and animated via inverse kinematics. It's interesting because it demonstrates a practical, safety-conscious middle ground between free-form code generation and rigid slot-filling for robot programming, running primarily in the browser with MuJoCo WASM.

Target audience: robotics researchers, ai engineers, full-stack developers
