MiniCPM-Robot Embodied AI Series
MiniCPM-Robot is MiniCPM's embodied AI model series for real-world perception, decision-making and action. It focuses on robot manipulation and target tracking, with an emphasis on efficient on-device inference.
Series overview
MiniCPM-Robot currently covers two directions: MiniCPM-RobotManip and MiniCPM-RobotTrack.
MiniCPM-RobotManip A 1.5B general-purpose VLA model for robot manipulation. A single set of weights covers a wide range of downstream manipulation tasks, with support for streaming visual context.
MiniCPM-RobotTrack A 0.9B on-device embodied target-tracking model that covers static, dynamic and adversarial targets, and can be deployed to the Unitree Go2 EDU.
| Model | Parameters | Task | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| MiniCPM-RobotManip | 1.5B | Robot manipulation | General-purpose VLA, streaming visual context, one model for many tasks |
| MiniCPM-RobotTrack | 0.9B | Embodied target tracking | Runs on-device, natural-language tracking, real-robot deployment on Go2 |
Recommended choices
| Use case | Recommended model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Robotic-arm grasping, general manipulation, simulated and real-robot manipulation | MiniCPM-RobotManip | Uses unified weights to cover many manipulation tasks, with multi-view input and action-sequence output. |
| Quadruped robot following, dynamic target tracking | MiniCPM-RobotTrack | Optimized for static, dynamic and adversarial target tracking, and comes with an on-device deployment workflow for the Go2 EDU. |
| Research on long-horizon visual memory and efficient VLA inference | MiniCPM-RobotManip | Streaming inference can reuse historical visual context, reducing the cost of repeated computation. |
Quick advice: For robot manipulation tasks, choose MiniCPM-RobotManip; for target tracking and on-device deployment on the Unitree Go2, choose MiniCPM-RobotTrack.
