Opinion: VLA models alone cannot achieve safe deployment of humanoid robots
1 reports · 1 sources
A Reddit user posted in r/humanoidrobotics arguing that vision-language-action (VLA) models alone are insufficient to allow humanoid robots to integrate safely into daily life. The reasoning given is that humanoid robots far exceed humans in strength and speed; without complex multi-sensory input, learning solely from video via vision cannot master the human instinctive behavior of adjusting force at the right moment in tasks such as holding a child's arm, serving cake, or closing a door, and this can easily cause accidents and hinder the industry's adoption.
