Open Science Robotics Foundation Models for Real-world Deployment with MolmoAct
Prof Jiafei Duan will discuss MolmoAct and MolmoAct2, projects from the Allen Institute for AI and the University of Washington, focusing on open science robotics foundation models for real-world deployment and the challenges of VLA models.
This presentation will discuss the challenges of deploying vision-language-action (VLA) models for robotics in real-world settings. It will introduce MolmoAct and MolmoAct2, two projects aimed at developing open science robotics foundation models. Attendees will learn about MolmoAct's interpretable action reasoning pipeline and MolmoAct2's advancements in practical deployment through open datasets, an embodied reasoning VLM, and support for accessible robot platforms. The talk will also emphasize the significance of open access in robotics for fostering reproducible research.
