VLAs vs VAMs: The Architectural Split Defining Robot Foundation Models
Two ways to build robot foundation models — VLAs inherit semantic understanding, VAMs inherit physical dynamics. The distinction is a potential paradigm shift.
I'm Avi. I'm an operator, investor, and builder. Currently I'm exploring how robot foundation models will be deployed in the real-world.
