The Sequence AI of the Week #883: Qwen is Getting Into Robotics
TheSequence Jesus Rodriguez
Alibaba's Qwen team released three new robotics models—Qwen-RobotNav, Qwen-RobotManip, and Qwen-RobotWorld—designed to translate visual understanding into robotic actions. The models address the gap between perception and physical execution, with the main bottleneck identified as converting visual understanding into motor commands rather than general intelligence. This shift enables Qwen's language models to move beyond text and image tasks into controlling physical robotic systems.
Why it matters
One of the main frontier AI models is adding embodied AI capabilities.
