From Sora in 2023 to today’s Kling, Vidu, and Tongyi Wanxiang, the magic of AIGC generative technology has swept the globe, opening the door to widespread AI applications.

Coincidentally, AIGC generative technology has also delivered remarkable performance in embodied intelligent robot models.

“Serve me a bowl of steaming chicken soup.” Previously, this phrase might have evoked a heartwarming, vivid video. Now, if you have a robot by your side, it could actually serve you a bowl of soup!

The technology behind this comes from ISRLab at Tsinghua University’s Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences and Xingdong Jiyuan—a high-scoring ICML Spotlight work: the AIGC generative robot model VPP (Video Prediction Policy)!

By leveraging pretrained video generation models, VPP brings the magic of AIGC from the digital world into the physical realm of embodied intelligence, akin to the “Sora of the robotics world”!

VPP is trained on vast amounts of internet video data, directly learning human actions, significantly reducing reliance on high-quality real-robot data, and enabling seamless switching between different humanoid robot platforms. This is expected to greatly accelerate the commercialization of humanoid robots.
