....pplications." WALL-A: Integrating VLA with World Models for Continuous Real-World Evolution Founded in December 2023, X Square Robot is a trailblazer in developing general-purpose end-to-end embodied AI foundation models in China. The company's in-house developed VLA model, WALL-A, pioneered a system paradigm that deeply integrates VLA with World Models, ranking among the world's most advanced sys....

By using World Models to predict actions and causal inference to understand feedback, the model significantly enhances the zero-shot generalization capabilities of robots performing mobile manipulation tasks in unstructured environments. Simultaneously, large-scale real-robot reinforcement learning (RL) allows the foundation model to learn through physical interaction. This data-driven app....

To win this race, X Square Robot is also adhering to a closed-loop iteration of hardware, data, and models. As the first company in China to scale up real-world data resources, it has developed advanced data capture tools—including teleoperation, exoskeletons, and Univ....

A landmark breakthrough was recently demonstrated in autonomous food delivery, powered by Wall-A, where the Quanta X1, X Square Robot's wheeled bimanual robot, successfully navigated indoor and outdoor tasks to complete a delivery in an open environment. During the missi....

Much like a human, the robot used the model's causal inference to "fill in the blanks" when objects were partially hidden. When encountering operational stalls or friction, the robot autonomously self-corrects and completes the task loop without any human intervention. This capacity is also demonstr....
