Notes

Machenta describes its model as a new kind of robot foundation model trained entirely in simulation.

Machenta published its blog post introducing Instant Robot Learning on 27 October 2026.

Machenta names no product for the model and calls it the vision-demo-action model (VDA).

Machenta says the model draws on its founders’ earlier research at Imperial College, including Instant Policy.
