Any thoughts on this robot picking objects off a moving conveyor belt at 1x?
Summary
A robot using the LingBot-VA 2.0 video-action model picks objects off a moving conveyor belt in real-time at 1x speed, predicting future movements rather than reacting only to the current frame.

MIT researchers developed VLASH, a method enabling vision-language-action models to predict future robot states, doubling speed and reducing lag in tasks like pick-and-place and table tennis.
Robot latency is also a recovery problem
A robot can be fast on average but still fail when the scene changes; the LingBot-VA 2.0 design addresses this by pairing foresight reasoning with regrounding, achieving a fourfold speedup while ensuring state-reality closeness.
