The AI on display, Surgical Robot Transformer[1], is based on the work of Action Chunking with Transformers[2]. These are both transformer models, which means they are fundamentally token-based. The whitepapers go into more detail on how tokenization occurs (it's not text, like an LLM, they are patches of video/sensor data and sequences of actions).

Why wouldn't you look this up before stating it so confidentally? The link is at the top of this very page.

EDIT: I looked it up because I was curious. For your chosen example, Waymo, they also use (token based) transformer models for their state tracking.[3]
