This University of Pennsylvania GRASP conference is moderated by Suraj Nair of Physical Intelligence, on “Scaling Robot Learning with Vision-Language-Action Models.”
Recent years have witnessed enormous advances in the capabilities of AI systems, largely driven by core models that scale expressive architectures with diverse data sources. Although the impact of this technology on vision and language understanding is very clear, its use in robotics is still in its infancy. Scaling robotic learning still presents many open challenges, from selecting the appropriate data to scale to developing algorithms that can effectively adapt that data for closed-loop operation in the physical world. At Physical Intelligence, we aim to address these questions. This talk will showcase our recent work on building vision-language-action models, covering topics such as architecture design, data scaling, and open research directions.
