Robots with AI Agents + Copilot

Microsoft Developer (Build) · Jun 16, 2026 · Product Launches

General Robotics exposes a unified quadruped robot API and AI inferencing via an MCP server so Copilot agents can program robots in natural language.

“I very infrequently have to write code myself. I'm using, you know, models from Cloud Model, from OpenAI through Copilot to kind of help me write all this code.”

At Microsoft Build, General Robotics demoed an MCP server that lets Copilot agents read robot docs and generate/execute control code for quadruped robots from natural language, including cloud vision-model calls. It shows the agent-to-robot integration pattern via MCP, but it's a niche demo rather than a major industry-shifting announcement.
