Seed2Scale: A Self-Evolving Data Engine for Embodied AI via Small to Large Model Synergy and Multimodal Evaluation

Existing data generation methods suffer from exploration limits, embodiment gaps, and low signal-to-noise ratios, leading to performance degradation during self-iteration. To address these challenges, we propose Seed2Scale, a self-evolving data engine that overcomes the data bottleneck through a heterogeneous synergy of "small-model collection, large-model evaluation, and target-model learning". Starting with as few as four seed demonstrations, the engine employs the lightweight Vision-Language-Action model, SuperTiny, as a dedicated collector, leveraging its strong inductive bias for robust exploration in parallel environments. Concurrently, a pre-trained Vision-Language Model is integrated as a Verifer to autonomously perform success/failure judgment and quality scoring for the massive generated trajectories. Seed2Scale effectively mitigates model collapse, ensuring the stability of the self-evolution process. Experimental results demonstrate that Seed2Scale exhibits signifcant scaling potential: as iterations progress, the success rate of the target model shows a robust upward trend, achieving a performance improvement of 131.2%. Furthermore, Seed2Scale signifcantly outperforms existing data augmentation methods, providing a scalable and cost-effective pathway for the large-scale development of Generalist Embodied AI.

RealMirror: A Comprehensive, Open-Source Vision-Language-Action Platform for Embodied AI

The emerging field of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) for humanoid robots faces several fundamental challenges, including the high cost of data acquisition, the lack of a standardized benchmark, and the significant gap between simulation and the real world. To overcome these obstacles, we propose RealMirror, a comprehensive, open-source embodied AI VLA platform. RealMirror builds an efficient, low-cost data collection, model training, and inference system that enables end-to-end VLA research without requiring a real robot. To facilitate model evolution and fair comparison, we also introduce a dedicated VLA benchmark for humanoid robots, featuring multiple scenarios, extensive trajectories, and various VLA models. Furthermore, by integrating generative models and 3D Gaussian Splatting to reconstruct realistic environments and robot models, we successfully demonstrate zero-shot Sim2Real transfer, where models trained exclusively on simulation data can perform tasks on a real robot seamlessly, without any fine-tuning. In conclusion, with the unification of these critical components, RealMirror provides a robust framework that significantly accelerates the development of VLA models for humanoid robots.
