Data infrastructure & foundation models for bimanual robotics. Enabling robots to adapt to new tasks and deploy within days.

If you are interested in improving VLM backbones for VLAs, reach out to @Suchaeck and @Jay019374 ! #CVPR2026
🚀 Our paper "Learning Multi-View Spatial Reasoning from Cross-View Relations (XVR)" has been accepted to #CVPR2026! Current VLMs can reason from a single view surprisingly well, but they still struggle to connect information across multiple viewpoints. To address this, we introduce XVR: • 100K-sample VQA dataset • 3 categories, 8 tasks • Designed specifically for cross-view spatial reasoning Most excitingly, cross-view reasoning transfers to robot manipulation. Using an XVR-trained VLM as a VLA backbone improves RoboCasa manipulation success rates by +13%p on average.

Given the recent wave from @RhodaAI and @GeneralistAI—had to join the memory challenge 😄 Memory shouldn’t stop at shell games—check out our robot playing “Runaway” by @kanyewest 🎹 and more in our latest blog: config.inc/blog/memory_previ…
GEN-1 plays the 🐚 shell game, trained on just 1 hr of robot data. It also generalizes to unseen objects, like @BerkayAntmen 's car keys. Physical AI models should be capable of benchmark tasks like this one. It's interesting for the all the reasons @RhodaAI calls out -- requires visual memory, and the model must track the cups from the very start, at high frame rates. Interestingly, GEN-1 appears to exhibit a degree of "active perception." It's subtle; the hands can sometimes appear to "follow" the cups, using its own movements to help attend to where it thinks the object should be. Read more about GEN-1 in our blog post in the comments below ↓

Most robot data is collected in human-free environments — but the real world is not. We're closing that gap by collecting human-present data. Our models learn to naturally pause, yield, and collaborate! Blog post: config.inc/blog/hrc_preview 🧵1/N

Left is a model trained on human-absent data collides with a person. Right is our model, trained on human-present demonstrations, works safely alongside them. Models trained the conventional way — on human-absent data — simply don't develop these behaviors. They collide with a person in the way, and they don't wait when someone is nearby. 🧵2/N

We see this as an important step toward robot foundation models that are ready for the places where people actually live and work — homes, factories, care facilities. If you're interested in our data, models, or just want to talk, we'd love to hear from you at forms.config.inc/contact This is led by @Jay019374 with @hyungmokson @kimin_le2 🧵N/N

Hello world 🤖👋🏻—We are Config. Today, we’re excited to share a preview (🔗 config.inc/blog/tech_preview) of what we’ve been building. Our mission is to make robots capable of reliably performing two-handed tasks across diverse real-world settings materially more cost- and time-efficient to deploy.
