According to @physical_int, a comprehensive set of AI behavioral cloning baselines—including Diffusion Policy, WB-VIMA, ACT, BC-RNN, as well as pre-trained VLA models like OpenVLA and π_0—has been provided to accelerate robotics research and experimentation. These baseline models represent state-of-the-art approaches in imitation learning, enabling researchers to quickly benchmark and iterate on new algorithms. The inclusion of both classic and pre-trained models supports rapid development and evaluation of AI-driven robotic policies, ultimately lowering the barrier to entry for innovation in robotics and AI applications (source: @physical_int, Twitter).

According to @StanfordAI, the BEHAVIOR Challenge presents 50 long-horizon mobile manipulation tasks designed to test and advance AI systems in complex, real-world settings. The challenge leverages 1,200 hours of high-quality demonstration data to train and benchmark AI models on diverse and intricate low-level manipulation skills. This initiative highlights opportunities for AI companies and researchers to develop generalist robotics, deep reinforcement learning, and imitation learning systems that can handle multi-step physical tasks in dynamic environments. The tasks and datasets provided offer a valuable resource for accelerating progress toward autonomous service robots, smart manufacturing, and scalable robotics solutions.
