Module 4: Vision-Language-Action (VLA)

🎯 Module Overview​

The convergence of Vision, Language, and Action—where humanoid robots understand voice commands, reason about tasks, and execute physical actions.

🗣️ What is VLA?​

Vision-Language-Action systems integrate:

  • Vision: Perceive the environment
  • Language: Understand natural language commands
  • Action: Execute robotic tasks

📚 What You'll Learn​

  1. ✅ Voice-to-Action with OpenAI Whisper
  2. ✅ Cognitive planning with LLMs
  3. ✅ Natural language to ROS 2 actions
  4. ✅ Capstone Project: The Autonomous Humanoid
