Robot and controller
Exact make, model, joints, end effectors, and local control API.
Start with the body, sensors, state, actions, and safety executor.
Exact make, model, joints, end effectors, and local control API.
Names, dimensions, capture rate, and state-vector order.
Joint, end-effector, relative, absolute, and normalization rules.
Limits, watchdogs, disconnect path, and safe state.
Add one exact embodiment before choosing a compatible VLA.
VLA candidates become Operators only for qualified robot routes.
| Checkpoint family | Known route | Output | Mech status |
|---|---|---|---|
| π0.5 | Checkpoint-specific | Action chunk | Qualification |
| MolmoAct2 | Embodiment-specific | Action chunk | Qualification |
| SmolVLA | LeRobot bodies | Action chunk | Qualification |
| Your checkpoint | Your robot | Your schema | Request |
Closed-loop evidence from a connected robot, simulator, or Station.
Static frames can inspect an action schema. Only a closed-loop run can test an Operator.
Release a qualified Operator through cloud, customer cloud, or edge.
Exact robot, checkpoint, and adapter.
Cloud region, private cloud, or edge.
Latency, disconnect, cost, and behavior.
Stage, observe, promote, or roll back.
A catalog entry cannot bind a deployment until the exact model-to-robot route passes qualification.
