MolmoAct2 runs text-to-action on a $150 robot arm and RTX 4060 GPU

Robotics should be accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. The post highlights real-world community use of MolmoAct2, a text-to-action system that can run on a $150 robot arm with a humble RTX 4060 GPU.
The quoted example is simple but concrete: given the instruction "Pick up the butterfinger and put it in the bowl," MolmoAct2 turns text into action on inexpensive hardware, suggesting a lower barrier for practical robotics experimentation.
