Vbot Unveils 'Embodied Genome' and ATOM Humanoid Robot
机器之心 · wechat · 2026-08-22
Vbot unveiled its first humanoid robot, ATOM, alongside the "VbotEmbodiedGenome" technology stack designed to enable intelligence inheritance across different robot bodies and tasks.
Core Concept
The industry focuses on universal robots, but changing hardware often requires retraining. Vbot's "Embodied Genome" aims to abstract a layer of intelligence that is cross-task inheritable and cross-body evolvable.
Three Core Models
- Vbot-OmniDuplex: A multimodal streaming full-duplex interaction system using a Thinker-Talker architecture to decouple real-time interaction from background reasoning, handling continuous physical world interaction.
- Vbot-WorldModel: An action-conditioned decision engine that integrates "Generation-Evaluation-Optimization" into the decision loop, using future prediction to guide physical actions.
- Vbot-EvoMorph: A shared policy backbone with multi-body evolution. It decouples high-level strategy (ActionTokens) from body-specific control via BodyAdapters, allowing quick adaptation to quadrupeds or humanoids.
Data Loop & Deployment
- Real-Sim-Real Loop: Uses real-world logs to rebuild high-fidelity simulations for massive trial-and-error training before deploying back to physical robots.
- Real-World Data: Leverages data from its mass-produced quadruped robot "Da Tou" (1.26M interactions, 23,700km mileage) to fuel the data flywheel.
