- KUAVO-VLA-1.0: A Domain-Specialized Vision-Language-Action Foundation Model for Industrial Dual-Arm Humanoid Manipulation
2026-08-26 - Research Publication - KUAVO-VLA-1.0 specializes LingBot-VLA-2.0 on 680 hours of teleoperated industrial manipulation. The report evaluates 25 physical Kuavo 4Pro tasks, separating 20 previously seen industrial tasks from five held-out GM100 tasks, and releases code plus gated checkpoints and a 100-task dataset.

Timeline
- KUAVO 4Pro study validates whole-body dance control
2026-04-05 - Research Publication - Four physical robots completed a four-minute performance at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum, standing three metres apart without safety barriers. A 1.2-second prediction horizon enabled foot-placement correction at about 50 Hz; reference-motion preparation and contact annotation still required manual work.
Source - KUAVO 4Pro study combines walking and inspection planning
2025-10-13 - Research Publication - Automotive-inspection simulations reduced completion time by 30% against a stop-and-go baseline. A separate physical vehicle-gap inspection experiment validated multi-location motion and millimetre-level end-effector tracking.
