Introducing BoxBot — our latest demo, at #IROS2026.
BoxBot combines image-based visual servoing and a fine-tuned VLA to open taped cardboard boxes.
The learned policy was trained on just 125 demos collected in 5 hours. No custom architecture required. One data path built on Viam.

This time I brought a camera into the @viamrobotics lab in New York.
I've been visiting robotics companies for a while, and I want to start showing more of what I actually see when I'm there.
The labs are usually much more interesting than the polished videos you see online.
There are test setups everywhere. Engineers are working on things that are still unfinished. You get a much better sense of how the company works once you spend a few hours inside.
So I filmed this visit.
In the episode, I walk through Viam's lab, spend time with the team and get a closer look at what they're working on.
I'm going to keep taking the camera with me when I visit robotics companies and research labs.
The full Viam episode is now here on X and on YouTube.
