RT2: A Multimodal Transformer Model Combining Visual Perception and Natural Language Understanding

RT2, a robotics transformer system, integrates visual perception, natural language understanding, and robotic action planning into a single multimodal transformer model. By treating robot actions as a form of language, the model leverages common sense reasoning derived from large language models. This approach enables the model to transfer capabilities between perception and actuation, allowing robots to understand new objects and concepts.
