Verne Robotics releases open-weight V0.5 robot action model for industrial robots

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 on RoboTwin 2.0 under randomized clutter, lighting and textures, V0.5 scored 73.4%, down from 81.0% in clean conditions. Verne reports that π0.5 fell from 70.7% to 46.0% under the same changes. These are Verne's own simulation results, not real-robot tests.
