    Seerbotics demonstrates VLA model completing Tower of Hanoi task: still able to continue solving after base is pushed and discs are scrambled

    Seerbotics demonstrated its self-developed VLA model driving a robotic arm to complete the seven-move sequence of a three-disc Tower of Hanoi. When an observer slides the base to change its overall position or rearranges the discs into an arbitrary intermediate state, the robotic arm can still re-identify the current configuration, determine the next move, and continue completing the remaining task. Trained on only 60 demonstration trajectories, the model can generalize across changes in object position, color, and shape. The Seerbotics robot "brain" consists of three layers—model, cerebellum, and nerve—responsible respectively for scene understanding and decision-making, motion planning and execution, and a unified interface connecting sensors and joint actuators.
