Summary
According to a post on X by @estormyweather, Eric Storm said the clearest takeaway from CoRL hallway conversations is that robotics researchers now broadly agree coding agents amplify their work. The post notes that opinions were mixed a year ago, so the shift toward agreement is the new element. Storm describes this as a personal observation from the conference, not something drawn from any paper or talk. The snippet does not give survey data or specific tools.

Why it matters
If the observation holds, faster research tooling could help robotics teams move quicker alongside advances in underlying models. Researchers and labs adopting coding agents may see the most direct change in how experiments and software get built. Watch for published evidence or measured productivity results, since this claim currently rests on informal conference conversations.
