So honored to have the support of my professors and peers, including the omnipotent Long @LongLeRobot, on my first PhD project. 3D space is the bridge between the task and action space, where the guidance from foundation knowledge flows.
VLA policies learn generalist robot behaviors from massive teleoperation datasets, hoping that the right behavior emerges. But they rarely use perception during training or inference: powerful foundation models of 3D geometry, semantics, or human motion are ignored.
