A Swiss company is using a new type of “brain” that will allow robots to conduct multiple types of tasks accurately.
Flexion Robotics is developing reinforcement learning and a sim-to-real platform that can power humanoid robots across morphologies and tasks.
The autonomy stack will turn capable machines into adaptable, autonomous systems. The stack will include the command layer, motion layer, control layer and intelligent layer. The new system will help develop robots that can be deployed in the real world with minimal human involvement.
The command layer is a type of language model used for common-sense reasoning that takes in tasks described in natural language, breaks them down into subtasks, and provides the necessary environment understanding and grounding.
The motion layer is a vision-language-action model trained primarily on synthetic data, fine-tuned for real-world edge cases. While the control layer is a transformer-based, low-latency whole-body control with a modular skill library. It enables rapid composition of new behaviors.
