OpenVLA 7B

Predicts robot manipulation actions from a camera image and an English-language instruction.

Developer: OpenVLA collaboration · Last verified:

What it is designed to do

Predict normalized 7-DoF robot end-effector actions from a workspace image and language instruction.

Primary contribution
control action
Input
image, text
Output
number vector (normalized 7-DoF robot action)

Documented uses: Action prediction for robot embodiments and settings represented in the Open-X training mixture.

Access and deployment

  • OpenVLA 7B publisher weights — available. Public publisher repository; confirm MIT terms and runtime dependencies before use. Artifact documentation Local hardware requirements have not been verified. The full artifact-specific rights document has not been separately reviewed; follow the stated publisher or upstream license conditions.

Inclusion rationale: Fills the control/action gap with a bounded model output contract, distinct from a general robot control stack.

Limitations

  • Predicted actions require per-robot, per-dataset un-normalization before execution.
  • The publisher does not claim zero-shot generalization to unseen robot embodiments or setups.
  • The model predicts an action; safe physical execution depends on the surrounding robot system.
