đ RDT-1B
RDT-1B is a 1B-parameter imitation learning Diffusion Transformer pre-trained on 1M+ multi-robot episodes. Given language instruction and RGB images of up to three views, it can predict the next 64 robot actions. RDT is compatible with almost all modern mobile manipulators, covering various types such as single-arm to dual-arm, joint to EEF, position to velocity, and even wheeled locomotion.

Uses
RDT takes language instruction, RGB images (of up to three views), control frequency (if any), and proprioception as input and predicts the next 64 robot actions. It supports the control of almost all robot manipulators with the help of the unified action space, which includes all the main physical quantities of the robot manipulator. To deploy on your robot platform, you need to fill the relevant quantities of the raw action vector into the unified space vector. See [our repository](https://github.com/thu - ml/RoboticsDiffusionTransformer) for more information.
â ī¸ Important Note
Due to the embodiment gap, RDT cannot yet generalize to new robot platforms (not seen in the pre - training datasets). In this case, we recommend collecting a small dataset of the target robot and then using it to fine - tune RDT. See [our repository](https://github.com/thu - ml/RoboticsDiffusionTransformer) for a tutorial.
