Episode Details

We present Xiaomi-Robotics-1, a foundational vision-language-action (VLA) model capable of (1) following diverse language instructions to perform a wide range of mobile manipulation tasks in unseen environments out-of-the-box, and (2) rapidly adapting to new tasks with minimal demonstrations through efficient fine-tuning. In this episode of Embodied AI 101, we explore "The 100,000-Hour Bet: How Xiaomi-Robotics-1 Tries to Make Robot Scaling Real". We break down the research, methodology, and real-world implications for robotics, AI, and physical intelligence. Embodied AI 101 covers the latest research at the intersection of AI and physical intelligence — robotics, manipulation, world models, and the path from digital intelligence to embodied agents.
