Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Module

Welcome to the Vision-Language-Action (VLA) module of the Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics Book. This module teaches students how LLMs, vision, and robot actions integrate into a single pipeline.

Overview​

This module focuses on:

  • Voice-to-Action using Whisper
  • LLM-based cognitive planning
  • End-to-end autonomous humanoid workflow (capstone)

Chapters​

  1. Voice-to-Action Basics (Whisper → Commands)
  2. Cognitive Planning with LLMs (Natural Language → ROS2 Actions)
  3. Capstone: Autonomous Humanoid (Perception + Planning + Action)

Learning Objectives​

After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Understand how Whisper, LLMs, and ROS2 coordinate in the VLA pipeline
  • Implement a complete voice-to-action pipeline
  • Design cognitive planning workflows with natural language processing
  • Create an end-to-end autonomous humanoid system
