We are building a framework for training vision-language-action models to perform complex manipulation tasks in data center environments without requiring human demonstrations or teleoperation data.

Pre-programmed policies initialize reinforcement learning, while diverse synthetic scenes provide scalable experience. The goal is to reduce the cost and operational burden of collecting task-specific demonstration data.
