Openvla Agent

OpenVlaAgent

Bases: MotorAgent

OpenVLA agent to generate robot actions.

Specify gradio server endpoint in model_src to make inference via API. See openvla_example_server.py for the an exmaple of the gradio server code.

actor is a gradio server taking: image, instruction, and unnorm_key as input.

Examples:

>>> openvla_agent = OpenVlaAgent(model_src="https://api.mbodi.ai/community-models/")
>>> openvla.act("move hand forward", Image(size=(224, 224)))
HandControl(pose=Pose6D(x=1,y=2,z=3,roll=0,pitch=0,yaw=0), grasp=JointControl(value=0))
