iFLYTEK launches new robotics firm, challenges VLA models with "body cognition"

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

iFLYTEK has launched a new robotics company, Anhui Yaofang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., focused on developing the "brain" for robots. Led by scientist Pan Jia, the company proposes a new approach to embodied intelligence, moving beyond current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Their proposed "Embodied-Omni" model emphasizes "本体认知" (body cognition) and "联合生成" (joint generation) to address limitations in predicting future states and executing actions accurately. AI

IMPACT This new approach to robot "brains" could accelerate the practical application of embodied AI by addressing core limitations in current models.
