# RobotEra ERA-42, brain

RobotEra's end-to-end Vision-Language-Action model, ERA-42 (introduced late 2024), described as the world's first truly embodied large model for five-fingered robot control. Integrates vision, language, and proprioceptive data in a unified on-device neural network for high-frequency, real-time motor control without cloud assistance; powers the RobotEra L7 humanoid. Developed under founder Chen Jianyu (Tsinghua University).
