Improve model card for $\\chi_{0}$

Browse files

This PR significantly improves the model card for $\\chi_{0}$.

Specifically, it:
- Adds the `robotics` pipeline tag.
- Updates the `license` to `cc-by-nc-sa-4.0`, accurately reflecting the license of the model checkpoints as stated in the GitHub repository.
- Includes key links to the original paper, the project page, and the GitHub repository.
- Provides a concise summary of the $\\chi_{0}$ framework, its technical pillars, and performance highlights.
- Adds relevant tags for better discoverability.
- Removes the irrelevant "File information" section, as instructed.

+ # $\\chi_{0}$: Resource-Aware Robust Manipulation via Taming Distributional Inconsistencies
12
+
13
+ [**Paper**](https://huggingface.co/papers/2602.09021) | [**Project Page**](https://mmlab.hk/research/kai0) | [**GitHub Repository**](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/KAI0)

15
+ $\\chi_{0}$ (pronounced **kai0**) is a resource-efficient framework designed to achieve production-level robustness in robotic manipulation. It addresses the systematic inconsistency and distributional shift among human demonstrations, the inductive bias learned by the policy, and test-time execution, which are primary bottlenecks to real-world robustness in multi-stage tasks.
16
+
17
+ ## Technical Pillars
18
+
19
+ The $\\chi_{0}$ approach is built upon three technical pillars:
20
+
21
+ 1. **Model Arithmetic:** A weight-space merging strategy that efficiently soaks up diverse distributions from different demonstrations, varying from object appearance to state variations. This aggregates knowledge without architectural complexity.
22
+ 2. **Stage Advantage:** A stage-aware advantage estimator that provides stable, dense progress signals, overcoming the numerical instability of prior non-stage approaches.
23
+ 3. **Train-Deploy Alignment:** Bridges the distribution gap via spatio-temporal augmentation, heuristic DAgger corrections, and temporal chunk-wise smoothing.
24
+
25
+ ## Performance
26
+
27
+ $\\chi_{0}$ enables two sets of dual-arm robots to collaboratively orchestrate long-horizon garment manipulation tasks, including flattening, folding, and hanging different clothes. The method exhibits high-reliability autonomy, capable of running the system from an arbitrary initial state for consecutive 24 hours non-stop. Experiments validate that $\\chi_{0}$ surpasses the state-of-the-art $\\pi_{0.5}$ in success rate by nearly 250%, achieved with only 20 hours of data and 8 A100 GPUs.
