Module 4: Vision-Language-Action (VLA)

Chapter 2: Visual Perception for VLA Models​

This chapter focuses on the visual perception component within Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. We will explore how robots process and interpret visual information to understand their environment and the objects within it, which is crucial for grounded language understanding and action planning.

Topics Covered:​

  • Advanced computer vision techniques relevant to VLA (e.g., object detection, semantic segmentation, 3D perception)
  • Integration of various visual sensors (e.g., RGB-D cameras, event cameras)
  • Learning visual representations that are useful for language and action
  • Challenges in robust visual perception for dynamic and unstructured environments

By the end of this chapter, you will have a solid understanding of how visual input is transformed into meaningful representations that VLA models can leverage for decision-making.
