MolmoAct2: Action Reasoning Models for Real-world Deployment
Haoquan Fang, Jiafei Duan, Donovan Clay +26
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models aim to provide a single generalist controller for robots, but today's systems fall short on the criteria that matter for real-world deployment.…
MolmoB0T: Large-Scale Simulation Enables Zero-Shot Manipulation
Abhay Deshpande, Maya Guru, Rose Hendrix +23
A prevailing view in robot learning is that simulation alone is not enough; effective sim-to-real transfer is widely believed to require at least some real-world data collection or…
MolmoSpaces: A Large-Scale Open Ecosystem for Robot Navigation and Manipulation
Yejin Kim, Wilbert Pumacay, Omar Rayyan +23
Deploying robots at scale demands robustness to the long tail of everyday situations. The countless variations in scene layout, object geometry, and task specifications that charac…
MolmoAct: Action Reasoning Models that can Reason in Space
Jason Lee, Jiafei Duan, Haoquan Fang +16
Reasoning is central to purposeful action, yet most robotic foundation models map perception and instructions directly to control, which limits adaptability, generalization, and se…
Molmo and PixMo: Open Weights and Open Data for State-of-the-Art Vision-Language Models
Matt Deitke, Christopher Clark, Sangho Lee +47
Today's most advanced vision-language models (VLMs) remain proprietary. The strongest open-weight models rely heavily on synthetic data from proprietary VLMs to achieve good perfor…
