Module 4: Vision-Language-Action (VLA)

Chapter 4: Action Generation and Robot Control​

This chapter focuses on the action generation component of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, specifically how they translate high-level language commands and visual understanding into executable robot actions. We will delve into the mechanisms that enable robots to perform complex tasks in physical environments.

Topics Covered:​

  • Robot kinematics and dynamics in the context of VLA
  • Action primitives and their composition for complex behaviors
  • Reinforcement learning and imitation learning for action policy acquisition
  • Feedback mechanisms for robust and adaptive robot control
  • Challenges in safe and effective real-world deployment of VLA-driven robots

This chapter will provide insights into how VLA models bridge the gap between abstract understanding and concrete physical manipulation, allowing robots to operate effectively.
