OpenDriveLab

“Hongyang Li, OpenDriveLab, University of Hong Kong. Contributing author (Qingwen Bu also from OpenDriveLab). OpenDriveLab is primarily known for autonomous driving research... Their participation signals cross-domain transfer of ideas from AV perception/planning into robot manipulation.”

“Qingwen Bu, OpenDriveLab, HKU. Contributing author, also first author on UniVLA (a competing VLA method benchmarked in Table I). The fact that a UniVLA author is also contributing to GuidedVLA suggests the HKU/OpenDriveLab group is actively exploring multiple VLA architectural directions simultaneously.”
