Open-Sourced LingBot-VA 2.0 Robot Foundation Model
philfung · x · 2026-07-11
- Released LingBot-VA 2.0: A native video-action foundation model designed for general robot control.
- The author emphasizes it was pre-trained from scratch, unlike many works adapted from VLMs or pre-trained video models, and is fully open-source.
- Key designs include:
- Native video-action pre-training: Learns world knowledge to enhance generalization;
- Semantic Visual-Action Tokenizer: Improves action prediction accuracy and prompt-following capabilities;
- Foresight Reasoning: Enables the robot to "think one step ahead" during execution for smoother, more responsive control.
