Embodied AI steps into the 3D world with 3D-VLA, a groundbreaking foundation model that forges connections between perception, reasoning, and action in three-dimensional environments. By building on a 3D-based LLM and integrating embodied diffusion models, 3D-VLA presents a robust framework for generating goal images and point clouds, fueling enhanced embodied reasoning and planning.

Fascinating features include:

• Linking 3D perception with LLM-based reasoning
• A new dataset from existing robotics research
• Significant improvements in embodied reasoning and planning

This model stands out for its potential applications in real-world settings, offering a dynamic and generative approach to embodied AI that reflects human cognitive processes more closely than ever before.
