Thank you to @Yiqiao_Zhong for his presentation yesterday on how LLMs generalize on out-of-distribution tasks, and for meeting with so many of our students and faculty! The students were excited, and ASSET was glad to host. If you missed it, stay tuned- recording coming soon!

Excited to share our recent progress on adapting pretrained VLAs to imbue them with in-context learning capabilities!
Robot AI brains, aka Vision-Language-Action models, cannot adapt to new tasks as easily as LLMs like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Grok. LLMs can adapt quickly with their in-context learning (ICL) capabilities. But can we inject ICL abilities into a pre-trained VLA like pi0? Yes!
