## Common questions

### What is SpatialVLA?

VLA with Ego3D position encoding and adaptive action grids, pretrained on 1.1M real robot episodes. Multi-institutional research effort demonstrating spatial reasoning for cross-embodiment manipulation.

### Is SpatialVLA open source?

Yes. SpatialVLA is recorded as open-source / open-weights on the DEPLOY registry, meaning model weights or source code are publicly available.

### What type of AI is SpatialVLA?

SpatialVLA is a foundation model, built on a VLM + 3D spatial position encoding, adaptive action grids architecture on the DEPLOY registry.

### What is SpatialVLA's maturity stage?

SpatialVLA is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder. Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.

### Which robots run on SpatialVLA?

No robot models on the DEPLOY registry are recorded as running SpatialVLA. DEPLOY wires brain-to-model connections only when the wiring is verifiable from primary sources; absence may reflect pre-deployment or unverified manufacturer claims.
