Alibaba DAMO Academy Launches RynnBrain 1.1: Humanoid Robot Cooks Steak in One Take
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-08-03
Alibaba DAMO Academy released RynnBrain 1.1, an embodied foundation model, along with the RynnBrain-VLA built on top of it.
The project page features three uninterrupted, unedited real-robot demos: meal delivery, steak cooking, and chair pushing. The steak cooking sequence, utilizing the Wuji dexterous hand, is particularly clear, smoothly executing spatula grasp, flipping, plating, and serving.
The system demonstrates solid contact-point prediction, a unified cross-embodiment action space, and effective perception-to-physical execution.
