RT-2-X is Google DeepMind's flagship Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2) model retrained on the Open-X-Embodiment dataset - the first large-scale, multi-institution effort to assemble a unified robot-learning dataset spanning many labs and robots. Open-X-Embodiment was organised in 2023 by Google DeepMind together with 21+ academic and industry institutions (Stanford, UC Berkeley, CMU, MIT, Toyota Research Institute, etc.), producing the RT-X dataset of ~1 million trajectories across 22 robot embodiments. RT-2-X extends RT-2's Vision-Language-Action recipe - using a PaLM-E / PaLI-X style VLM as backbone and emitting actions as text tokens - to this cross-embodiment corpus, demonstrating positive transfer across robots and a new state of the art on generalist manipulation at the time of release. RT-2-X is research-only and not publicly callable; it remains a key academic reference and the conceptual parent of subsequent open VLAs.

Αρχιτεκτονική

Vision-Language-Action transformer (PaLI / PaLM-E backbone, discrete action tokens)

RT-2-X follows the RT-2 design: a large Vision-Language Model (PaLI-X or PaLM-E) is co-fine-tuned on web-scale vision-language data and on robot demonstration data, where robot actions are tokenised as strings of natural-language-like tokens (each action dimension binned and rendered as a token). The same next-token prediction objective therefore trains the model on both internet-scale image-text data and on robot trajectories, allowing the resulting policy to inherit web knowledge (object semantics, OCR, common sense) and route it to motor commands. RT-2-X is the version of this recipe trained on the Open-X-Embodiment / RT-X dataset - ~1 million trajectories across 22 robot embodiments - rather than only on Google's internal kitchen-robot dataset. Public results report 5B and 55B variants, with the 55B model showing the strongest generalisation, especially when prompted with unseen language commands or unseen object combinations.

Εκπαίδευση & άδεια

Co-trained on internet-scale vision-language data (PaLI / PaLM-E corpora) plus ~1 million robot trajectories from the Open-X-Embodiment (RT-X) dataset across 22 robot embodiments. Action targets are tokenised continuous controls.

Άδεια: Research-only - Google DeepMind has not publicly released the RT-2-X weights, code or API. Some Open-X-Embodiment data and smaller RT-X reproductions are available, but the proprietary RT-2-X checkpoints are not.

Δοκιμές ασφάλειας: Covered under Google's standard Responsible AI process and frontier-safety evaluations. Robot demos were filmed in supervised lab settings with force-limited hardware; no public RSP-style document specific to RT-2-X.
