Playground for Robotics: Prompt robotics models on real hardware

Hey, I connected my YAM arms (an emerging standard) with Astra for people to try out robotics models on actual hardware. Astra (GPT6) is given a prompt to control the gripper given the camera images as inputs, and performs well across various manipulation tasks in a zero shot manner. Really when Astra came out, I realized that most people don't have robotic arms, and don't really have a good sense for how well stuff actually works. So I decided to let people access mine in a playground format. The website is designed for those who are curious to try it out once, and the API is designed for those who want to dig in deeper and try their own experiments.
