RLDX-1 Technical Report

While Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have shown remarkable progress toward human-like generalist robotic policies through the versatile intelligence (i.e. broad scene understanding and language-conditioned generalization) inherited from pre-trained Vision-Language Models, they still struggle with complex real-world tasks requiring broader functional capabilities (e.g. motion awareness, long-term memory, and physical sensing). To address this, we introduce RLDX-1, a general-purpose robotic policy for dexterous manipulation built on the Multi-Stream Action Transformer (MSAT), an architecture that unifies these capabilities by integrating heterogeneous modalities through modality-specific streams with cross-modal joint self-attention. RLDX-1 further combines this architecture with system-level design choices, including data synthesis for rare manipulation scenarios, learning procedures specialized for human-like manipulation, and inference optimizations for real-time deployment. Through empirical evaluation, we show that RLDX-1 consistently outperforms recent frontier VLAs (e.g. $π_{0.5}$ and GR00T N1.6) across both simulation benchmarks and real-world tasks that require broad functional capabilities beyond general versatility. In particular, RLDX-1 shows superiority in ALLEX humanoid tasks by achieving success rates of 86.8% while $π_{0.5}$ and GR00T N1.6 achieve around 40%, highlighting the ability of RLDX-1 to control a high-DoF humanoid robot under diverse functional demands. Together, these results position RLDX-1 as a promising step toward reliable VLAs for complex, contact-rich, and dynamic real-world dexterous manipulation.

Recent developments of selective laser processes for wearable devices

Recently, the growing interest in wearable technology for personal healthcare and smart VR/AR applications newly imposed a need for development of facile fabrication method. Regarding the issue, laser has long been proposing original answers to such challenging technological demands with its remote, sterile, rapid, and site-selective processing characteristics for arbitrary materials. In this review, recent developments in relevant laser processes are summarized in two separate categories. Firstly, transformative approaches represented by laser-induced graphene (LIG) are introduced. Apart from design optimization and alteration of native substrate, latest advancements in the transformative approach now enable not only more complex material compositions but also multilayer device configurations by simultaneous transformation of heterogeneous precursor or sequential addition of functional layers coupled with other electronic elements. Besides, more conventional laser techniques such as ablation, sintering and synthesis are still accessible for enhancing the functionality of the entire system through expansion of applicable materials and adoption of new mechanisms. Various wearable device components developed through the corresponding laser processes are then organized with emphasis on chemical/physical sensors and energy devices. At the same time, special attention is given to the applications utilizing multiple laser sources or multiple laser processes, which pave the way towards all-laser fabrication of wearable devices.
