Decision summary
Multi-modal action generation
Hardware, latency, dependencies, and checkpoint loading are not pipeline-tested.
Run a checkpoint loading smoke test before marking the model pipeline-tested.
Release history
Source-backed release timing for this canonical model record.
- Paper
Model series introduced
Release timing is anchored to the cited paper publication date.
Selection readiness
Evidence dimensions for deciding whether this model is ready to inspect, compare, or adopt. Scores describe catalog evidence, not task performance.

Engineering checks (OBRS) behind this record
Needs Audit
OBRS metadata and reported test evidence. A breakdown behind Selection readiness, not a separate score or an independent OpenBot certification.
- A passing real-hardware test report is required.
- A passing ingestion/pipeline test report is required.
- A passing privacy and provenance review is required.
Why these scores
The strongest decision reasons behind Selection readiness.
Artifact availability
UsefulCheckpoint files were verified in the official repository metadata.
Training and loading reproducibility
UsefulConfiguration files are present; runtime loading is not tested.
Evaluation evidence
UnknownNo structured evaluation evidence has been verified.
Data requirements
Declared loop-data needs, missing evidence, and the next checks that matter.

Critical gaps
Core categories are represented. Interface alignment and data quality still require verification.
Linked datasets
Signal-level links only. Verify runtime interfaces before use.

OpenBot notes
- Important policy baseline for comparing whether a dataset needs a larger VLA/WAM or a stronger task policy.
- OpenBot failure mining should identify when diffusion policies fail from missing feedback or contact signals.
