Closing the Lab-to-Store Gap: A Data-Efficient Post-Training and Experience-Driven Learning VLA Framework for Retail Humanoids
Closing the gap between benchmark performance and reliable real-world operation remains a central challenge for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) humanoid robots, which must handle execution errors, distribution shifts, and environmental variability. This paper presents DEED (Data-Efficient Post-Training and Experience-Driven Learning), a systems-level approach evaluated on a supermarket chip-restocking task using a Unitree G1-Edu humanoid robot and the GR00T N1.6 foundation model. DEED comprises thr
