ROS2SMOLVLA: DEPLOYING VLA MODELS ON AN INDUSTRIAL CO-BOT

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

ROS2SmolVLA is an open-source ROS 2 interface that deploys Hugging Face's lightweight SmolVLA model directly onto an industrial Universal Robots UR10e arm for local, vision-guided pick-and-place. If you have been playing with an SO-101 arm and would like to graduate up to controlling an industrial co-bots, this looks like a great starter solution.
