One Video In.
One Skill Out.

How VSG turns expert demonstration into a deployable, physics-grounded robot skill.

VLA Alone Isn't Enough

Vision-Language-Action models are powerful — but they can't do everything you need for real-world precision tasks.

What VLA Handles

  • Understand natural language instructions
  • Perceive objects through vision
  • Generate joint position trajectories
  • Generalize across similar tasks
  • Learn from demonstration videos

What Your Skill Also Needs

  • Precise force and torque control
  • Reaction to unexpected physical resistance
  • Real-time hazard detection
  • Compliance with flexible materials
  • The "feel" that only experienced operators have
"VLA sees and plans — but it can't feel. VSG bridges this gap by generating the sensor data VLA was never trained on."

The VSG Pipeline

You provide one video. VSG runs 12 steps to build your complete skill — 11 of them are fully automated.

STEP 01 · YOU

Record an expert performing your target task

STEP 02 · AUTO

Video preprocessing & task segmentation

STEP 03 · AUTO

Scene & environment diversification

STEP 04 · AUTO

Motion understanding model training

STEP 05 · AUTO

Digital twin generation

STEP 06 · AUTO

Physics-based data synthesis

STEP 07 · AUTO

Core skill model training

STEP 08 · AUTO

Precision control optimization

STEP 09 · AUTO

Safety rule generation

STEP 10 · AUTO

Control mode orchestration

STEP 11 · AUTO

Skill package assembly (.axion)

STEP 12 · AUTO

Validation & deployment readiness

You do Step 1. VSG does the rest.

A Three-Layer Hybrid Skill

Every skill VSG builds includes three integrated layers — automatically configured for your task.

~120 Hz

Micro VLA

General motion planning. Understands the task from your video, generates smooth trajectories for routine segments of your skill.

High Hz

VRL Policy

Precision control. Automatically engages during force-sensitive segments — trained in simulation with real physics from your task.

Always On

Hazard Detection

Safety monitoring. Continuously watches force/torque to prevent damage — thresholds auto-calibrated to your specific task.

Your Skill, Ready to Deploy

Everything packaged into a single .axion file. Install and run.
