Abstract

We present RynnBrain 1.1, a family of embodied foundation models spanning 2B, 9B, and 122B-A10B scales. Built on a unified spatio-temporal and physically grounded training framework, RynnBrain 1.1 supports embodied perception, spatial reasoning, localization, grounding, and planning across model scales. Compared with RynnBrain 1.0, RynnBrain 1.1 introduces contact-point prediction for task-relevant interaction locations and in-plane grasp orientations, together with native 3D grounding that enables the 2B and 9B models to perform language-conditioned grounding in metric physical space. We further develop RynnBrain-VLA with a unified cross-embodiment action space and embodiment-specific masking, and evaluate it on a Unitree G1 humanoid, an Astribot-S1 bimanual robot, and a Tianji-Wuji dexterous-hand system. Experiments show that RynnBrain 1.1 achieves strong performance on embodied cognition, spatial reasoning, localization, and 3D-grounding benchmarks. Controlled real-robot evaluations further demonstrate that VLA policies initialized from RynnBrain outperform Qwen-based VLA policies and representative VLA generalists, while joint multi-task and multi-embodiment training improves both average process scores and final task success rates over separately fine-tuned per-task policies.

RynnBrain 1.1 Results

RynnBrain 1.1 is evaluated at 2B, 9B, and 122B-A10B scales under one unified embodied training recipe. Performance rises consistently across general cognition, reasoning-intensive cognition, and embodied localization.

3D Grounding

Explicit 3D supervision gives the compact models native language-conditioned 3D grounding. RynnBrain 1.1-9B reaches 41.12 AP@15 on SUN RGB-D and 23.44 AP3D on WildDet3D-Bench.

The gains from 2B to 9B show that metric depth, object size, orientation, and open-vocabulary spatial grounding all benefit from model scaling.

Contact Point Prediction

Instead of predicting only an object center, RynnBrain 1.1 identifies an action-relevant contact point together with its in-plane grasp orientation. The model adapts to object geometry, state, target part, and the user instruction.

These examples cover thin objects, containers, overturned objects, and cluttered scenes; both visual groups remain side by side for direct comparison.

Architecture

RynnBrain 1.1 connects omni-vision perception, language instructions, spatial grounding, physical-world reasoning, and action planning in a unified model family. The same high-level capability definition is shared by the 2B, 9B, and 122B-A10B variants.

For physical execution, RynnBrain-VLA adds flow-matching action generation and a unified 81-dimensional action space that can be selectively activated for different robot embodiments.

Unified embodied perception and reasoning

A shared Dense/MoE decoder consumes single-view images, multi-view observations, videos, and instructions. It produces aligned text, regions, trajectories, pointing, 3D perception, and contact signals for four core capability groups.

Vision-language-action policy

One policy interface for heterogeneous robots

RynnBrain acts as the visual-language backbone while a denoising head predicts action chunks. Embodiment-specific masks activate compatible arm, gripper, hand, torso, and head dimensions without forcing incompatible controllers to share the same low-level action format.

Real-Robot Results

RynnBrain-VLA is deployed on Unitree G1, Astribot-S1, and Tianji-Wuji to test whole-body, bimanual, and dexterous manipulation in the physical world. The evaluation spans furniture interaction, food preparation, table service, and other long-horizon tasks.

Each task is evaluated over 20 randomized trials with both process quality and final success recorded. Cross-embodiment metrics and the controlled comparison are summarized first, followed by a compact overview of all real-robot tasks.

Controlled comparison

Embodied pretraining strengthens the VLA policy

With the same demonstrations and post-training setup, RynnBrain-VLA reaches 91.28% process score and 86.67% success, compared with 68.33% and 60.00% for Qwen-Based-VLA. Joint multi-task and multi-embodiment training further improves the averages to 94.14% and 91.67%.
