The next evolution: VLA+ models Just yesterday Microsoft Research released Rho-alpha (ρα) – their first robotics model, built on the Phi family. While most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models stop at vision and language, Rho-alpha adds: ▪️ Tactile sensing to feel objects during manipulation ▪️ Online learning that lets it improve from human corrections (via teleoperation, 3D mouse or other tools) in real-time even after deployment. Both these sides make adaptability central rather than incidental. Microsoft calls it a VLA+ model, positioning it as an extension beyond what current VLA systems support. ➡️ Today Rho-alpha can control dual-arm robot setups to perform tasks such as: • Manipulating the BusyBox following natural-language instructions • Plug insertion • Toolbox packing and object arrangement with bimanual coordination But to understand why this "plus" matters, we need to understand what came before. Here, we'll take you through the entire landscape of VLA models – Gemini Robotics, π0, SmolVLA, Helix, ACoT-VLA and others:

Robots movements are getting better at a scary pace. Huge real-world datasets and VLA models now turn vision-language into smooth continuous control, diffusion policies generate coherent action sequences, and compliant sensing-actuation reduces jitter.

Scaling vision-language-action (VLA) models to high-DoF dexterous hands has long been a "holy grail" challenge due to the high-dimensional action space and data scarcity. As a wrap up of the year 2025, we are releasing GR-Dexter, a holistic hardware-model-data framework for generalist manipulation on a bimanual dexterous-hand robot. This is the first VLA system to achieve: ✅ High-DoF Control: Managing a 56-DoF bimanual system (21-DoF per hand). ✅ Long-Horizon Tasks with tool use: Vacuuming, bread serving with tongs, and table decluttering. ✅ Open-World Generalization: Robust performance with unseen objects and abstract instructions. Project page: ArXiv:

X-Humanoid just dropped TG-VLA — the first full-size, whole-body VLA framework for humanoids. 🤖 Most VLA demos today still look arm-centric: see, plan, reach, grasp. The legs are mostly there to carry the arms. TG-VLA pushes action into the whole body: → HEX: task context & cross-embodiment learning → HAF-VLA: high-DoF motion → structured action flows → DSRL-DCT: online RL through a compressed latent space The real shift isn't a smarter hand — it's locomotion, torso control, balance, and manipulation inside one control loop. That's the move: from mobile dual-arm machines to full-body agents.
