4-billion-parameter vision-language-action model for language-conditioned robot control.

REKI couples a vision-language model, which encodes camera views and instructions, to a flow-matching action expert that generates chunks of robot actions.

Why this paper

From Inria and 2 others · Part of Robot Manipulation Policies, now 25 papers

In one line

A 2.4B vision-language-action model trained only on public data is outperformed only by models about twice its size, and a register-token memory cuts pose oscillations fourfold.
