By Microsoft
Rho-alpha is a Physical AI foundation model that extends Phi-style vision-language models with action and tactile sensing. It translates natural language instructions into control signals for dual-arm and humanoid robots, handling tasks like pressing buttons, plugging cables or packing toolboxes. Co-trained on physical demonstrations, simulated trajectories from NVIDIA Isaac Sim and web-scale VQA data, it aims for adaptable, tactile-aware manipulation that can improve over time from human feedback and teleoperation corrections.
