Thu Sep 12 00:37:10 UTC 2024: ## Robotics Transformers Now Available for Inference in TensorFlow
The Python community has released a new package, `robo_transformers`, enabling researchers and developers to easily leverage the power of Robotics Transformers (RT) models for robotic control. This package provides inference capabilities for RT-1, RT-2, RT-X, and PALME models, built on the TensorFlow framework.
“This release empowers users to easily integrate advanced Robotics Transformer models into their robotic applications,” said Sebby, the developer behind the project. “The package handles all internal state management, allowing users to simply provide instructions and images for inference.”
To utilize the package, users can install it through `pip install robo_transformers`. The `robo_transformers` package includes a command-line interface for effortless inference, allowing users to specify custom checkpoint paths or model keys for various RT models. Batching is supported, enabling efficient processing of multiple inputs.
This release aims to democratize access to powerful Robotics Transformers, facilitating rapid progress in robotics research and development. The project is open-source and contributions from the community are welcomed.
