It's a boot-strapping problem. LLMs have shown that we can reproduce data that's already in the form we want, and use that data to solve novel problems. There is no shortage of data, it's just data that's in a form you want is hard to come by. You want to create a model that generates steps for a robot with a particular shape? First you have to create a robot with that shape that can walk, then create a million of them and record them walking all over the place. Now you have something that's probably going to be too slow to run. Not fesible in the real world, the closest we have today is something like driverless car, (which is already a solved problem they are called trains)
This is why I think China will ultimately win the AI race, they will be able to put tens of millions of people to a specific task until there is enough data generated to replace humans on that task in 99.99% of cases, and they have the manufacturing capability to make the millions of IO devices needed for this.
Yes, humanoid robots are a good idea, but only if you can train them with walking data from real people, I think it will probably translate well enough to most humanoid robots, but ideally you are designing the physical robot from the ground up to model human movement as close as possible. You have to accept that if we go the LM route for AI that the optimal hardware behaves like human wetware. The neuromorphic computing people get it, robotics people should too.
