# Robocasa_navigatekitchen

A **pi0.5 (π₀.₅)** Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, finetuned on the **ROBOCASA** robotic manipulation/navigation benchmark using the **OpenTau** training framework. This model is designed to follow natural language instructions to perform navigation tasks in a simulated kitchen environment.

## Model Details

### Description
- **Model Type:** Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Model
- **Base Architecture:** π₀.₅ (pi0.5) by Physical Intelligence
- **Backbone:** PaliGemma-3B (VLM) + Gemma-300M (Action Expert)
- **Training Data:** Robocasa Benchmark
- **Framework:** OpenTau

### Architecture
The pi0.5 architecture uses a flow-matching-based policy designed for open-world generalization. It combines a Visual Language Model (VLM) for high-level semantic understanding with a smaller "action expert" model that generates continuous joint trajectories (10-step action chunks) via flow matching.

## Training and Evaluation

### Dataset
This model was finetuned on the **Robocasa** benchmark dataset. The Robocasa suite consists of human-teleoperated and mimicgen demonstrations for manipulation and navigation, covering:
- **Navigate Kitchen** (Atomic)

### Results
Training on 100 Human demonstrations, our model achieves **97%** success rate on Navigate Kitchen tasks.
