LG AI Research surveys the Robot Foundation Model (RFM) landscape, distinguishing between Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and World Model approaches for physical AI.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.lgresearch.ai/blog/view?seq=653:

> This article explores the primary landscapes of RFM research through two distinct technological avenues. The first is the Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, which directly maps visual and textual inputs to robot actions. The second is the World Model (or World Action Model) approach, which focuses on predicting future environmental changes alongside action generation.
