The AI model type capturing the most attention across robotics and autonomous vehicles right now is the vision-language-action model, or VLA. At embedded AI conferences this year, particularly the ...

What if a robot could not only see and understand the world around it but also respond to your commands with the precision and adaptability of a human? Imagine instructing a humanoid robot to “set the ...

MIT researchers discovered that vision-language models often fail to understand negation, ignoring words like “not” or “without.” This flaw can flip diagnoses or decisions, with models sometimes ...

Reducing the precision of model weights can make deep neural networks run faster in less GPU memory, while preserving model accuracy. If ever there were a salient example of a counter-intuitive ...

Figure AI has unveiled HELIX, a pioneering Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that integrates vision, language comprehension, and action execution into a single neural network. This innovation allows ...

As I highlighted in my last article, two decades after the DARPA Grand Challenge, the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry is still waiting for breakthroughs—particularly in addressing the “long tail ...
