Researchers have developed a new method called $R^3$ to train vision-language models (VLMs) for robotic manipulation tasks. This technique involves mid-training a VLM on expert-generated reasoning traces and then refining it with reinforcement learning from offline action data. The goal is to enable robots to reason in natural language to guide low-level manipulation policies, improving their ability to handle long-horizon tasks, explore new scenarios, and generalize to unseen problems.
