Sharpa releases CraftNet, a hierarchical VTLA model for fine manipulation

Sharpa has released CraftNet, an end-to-end hierarchical VTLA (vision-tactile-language-action) model aimed at last-millimeter contact control in fine manipulation. The model consists of three parts: System 2 (about 1 Hz, an open-source VLM responsible for reasoning and task decomposition), System 1 (about 10 Hz, responsible for motion planning and coarse actions), and System 0 (about 100 Hz, performing real-time fine-tuning of hand movements based on tactile feedback), with the three cooperating asynchronously.
