Our work on Robotic Arm Manipulation Demo is public and available [here](https://github.com/RobotecAI/rai-manipulation-demo).
Instructions on how to run the demo will be released soon.

## Issues and challenges

We are investigating optimal dataset size and diversity to generalize the model for our needs.
As VLA models are quite novel approach, intuitions regarding the fine-tuning of such models are only just being developed.

## Summary of Fine-Tuning Experiments

Our team conducted a series of fine-tuning experiments using our custom dataset from simulation, focusing on a one simple task. This novel approach presented both exciting opportunities and significant challenges.

3. **Novelty of Approach**:
- OpenVLA represents a cutting-edge technique in the field, requiring extensive experimentation to develop the necessary intuitions for successful fine-tuning.

## Conclusion
### Conclusion

While our experiments with openVLA did not yield the desired results or significant progress at this stage, they have provided valuable insights into the challenges and potential of this approach. The complexity of the task and the novelty of the method underscore the need for continued research and development in this area.
