Rho: A Foundation for Efficiently Adaptable VLA Models
From the abstract
General-purpose physical AI models must combine broad visual and linguistic capabilities with precise control across robot embodiments and efficient adaptation to downstream tasks. We introduce Rho, a family of open-weights VLA models for bimanual manipulation designed for data-light task adaptation on 3 embodiments representative of dual-arm robots across research labs and the industry -- YAM Box, UR AI Trainer, and FR3 Duo.
