Researchers have developed CHORUS, a new framework that enables decentralized collaboration among multiple robots using a single vision-language-action (VLA) policy. This approach allows each robot to operate independently, relying only on its local observations and a robot-identifying prompt, eliminating the need for explicit alignment or inference-time communication. In real-world tests involving tasks like mobile tape measurement and laundry basket lifting, CHORUS significantly outperformed existing decentralized models and even rivaled centralized approaches.
