## Summary

A developer used a locally running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model to convert English commands into general control of a reBot B601 robotic arm, entirely offline at home. In the demo, the arm completed tasks including shooting a Nerf gun, throwing a ball, writing, drawing, and pouring a cup, with object recognition using Meta SAM. This is the second video in the series; an earlier one demonstrated give, take, follow, and stacking actions.
