Robbyant Launches Upgraded LingBot-VLA 2.0 AI Model for Advanced Robotics
- Published
Robbyant, a company specializing in embodied AI under Ant Group, has unveiled the upgraded LingBot-VLA 2.0 model. This next-generation vision-language-action model enhances morphological generalization, degrees of freedom support, and deployment efficiency, addressing a critical gap in the embodied AI industry.
The significance of LingBot-VLA 2.0 lies in its extensive pre-training on 60,000 hours of real-world data, which includes interactions from 20 different robot morphologies. This upgrade allows for improved whole-body control and dual-arm manipulation, achieving leading scores on benchmarks, thus demonstrating its effectiveness in industrial-scale deployment.
Looking ahead, the introduction of a version optimized for efficient post-training and a threefold increase in inference efficiency positions LingBot-VLA 2.0 as a strong contender for real-time commercial applications. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
