VAMOS: Can One Navigation VLA Work for Both Wheels and Legs?
Can one navigation VLA serve robots with radically different movement capabilities? This episode explains how VAMOS separates image-space route generation from robot-specific feasibility scoring, and what that division contributes to real-world navigation. We follow three threads: how a common trajectory representation combines heterogeneous robot demonstrations; how simulation-trained affordance models influence route selection; and how the reported navigation results relate to the architecture's individual components. The discussion covers indoor and outdoor experiments, Boston Dynamics…
