Robot Foundation Models
Focused on robot foundation models that transfer across machines: how the pi series, Gemini Robotics and VLA architectures connect vision, language and action into one chain, helping readers judge which advances can actually run on their own robots.
Robot foundation models carry the general understanding of large models into the physical world: they are pretrained on vast robot datasets, then adapted to new machines and tasks with a handful of demonstrations. Systems such as pi0, pi0.5 and Gemini Robotics ER all follow this path, differing mainly in data sources, action representations and whether inference runs in the cloud or on the machine itself.
