## Summary

Verne Robotics introduces V0.5, an open-weight world action model that outputs arm, gripper and mobile-base motion from camera input, according to a post reposted by Rohan Paul. Verne says V0.5 learned new industrial tasks from under 2 hours of demonstrations and is built on the Wan2.2 video generator. In Verne's simulation tests, V0.5 dropped from 81.0% to 73.4% on RoboTwin 2.0 under randomized clutter, lighting and textures, while π0.5 fell from 70.7% to 46.0%.

Brilliant release by @VerneRobotics

V0.5, an open-weight world action model, that looks through cameras and outputs the next second of arm, gripper and mobile-base motion. 

The big deal is that it learned new industrial tasks from under 2 hours of demonstrations.

> Robot models usually stumble when a room changes. With clutter and new lighting that neither model trained on, Verne Robotics’ V0.5 lost 7.6 points in simulation, while Physical Intelligence’s π0.5 lost 24.7.

> On RoboTwin 2.0, randomized clutter, lighting and textures cut V0.5 from 81.0% to 73.4% in Verne’s tests, while Physical Intelligence’s π0.5 fell from 70.7% to 46.0%.

> Built on the Wan2.2 video generator, V0.5 learned from over 1.7M demonstrations to predict upcoming camera frames alongside the motion producing them.
