Evaluating VLAs and Robot Foundation Models

As physical AI teams move from simulation to deployment, the question is no longer just whether a system works but whether it performs reliably and safely in the real world. Join Weights & Biases by CoreWeave for a deep dive into how robotics teams evaluate checkpoints before deploying them in real-world systems. Moderated by Hans Ramsl, Senior Accounts Solutions Architect at Weights & Biases by CoreWeave, the session will feature a guest speaker from Polybot and explore: ● Sim-to-real gaps: What does a strong simulation benchmark actually predict about a deployed policy? ● Beyond success rates: Why do teams track trajectory traces, intervention rates, and near-miss taxonomies? ● The release decision: How do teams determine whether a checkpoint is safe to deploy in a customer’s cell? Key takeaways from the session include: ● Shared vocabulary for the signals that matter in addition to success rates ● Practical ways to turn evaluation results into actions on new checkpoints ● Opportunity to network with peers across the Cyber Valley network and the Weights and Biases by CoreWeave team Don’t miss out, register today!
