VLArm FAQs

Question 1

What is VLArm?

Accepted Answer

VLArm is a project designed to give robotic arms the capability to make autonomous decisions and perform actions based on natural language commands, driven by a locally-running Large Language Model (LLM).

Question 2

What LLMs and protocols does VLArm support?

Accepted Answer

VLArm is specifically designed to work with local LLMs like those available through Ollama (e.g., Qwen2.5), leveraging their tool-use capabilities. It uses an MCP server based on Anthropic's open-source protocol, integrated via the `ollmcp` client.

Question 3

Is VLArm an open-source project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, VLArm is an open-source project. The software components are licensed under the MIT License, and it incorporates 3D models for the SO-100 arm which are licensed under Apache.

Question 4

How does VLArm enable autonomous decisions for robotic arms?

Accepted Answer

VLArm integrates a configurable MCP (Model Control Protocol) server with local LLMs, such as those run via Ollama. This allows the LLM to interpret natural language commands and make tool calls to control the robotic arm's movements and actions autonomously.

Question 5

Does VLArm provide hardware or 3D models?

Accepted Answer

VLArm primarily provides the software framework for autonomous control. It also includes 3D printable designs for the robotic arm's casing, allowing users to fabricate the physical components themselves using a 3D printer.
