Across eight scenarios with no prior knowledge of the systems, the models met every objective, and in one they found a robotic arm, mapped its limits and moved it. No single safeguard stopped them every time.
Josh Cook, a Microsoft MVP, says Apps in Copilot Studio is now in public preview. You describe what you need, refine the draft by chat, connect approved data, test, then publish and share. This is how a plant or sales team could build a small internal app without a developer.

At SCSP's AI+ Robotics Summit, FANUC America's Michael Cicco described physical AI as a standard robot paired with a much larger AI model. He said independent safety layers matter when AI directs machines, and that robot technicians should be treated as a skilled trade.
