Tencent Robotics X Open-Sources Three Embodied Foundation Models: Chief Scientist Zhang Zhengyou Explains the 3-Layer Brain Architecture Solving Robot Reaction Speed

Tencent Robotics X open-sourced three embodied foundation models at WAIC 2026 for perception, planning, and control.

The stack includes Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.0, Hy-Embodied-RxBrain-1.0, and Hy-Embodied-VLA-0.5, built as a layered robotics architecture.

Tencent says the design addresses robot latency and reasoning limits by separating scene understanding, visual-state imagination, and motor execution.

The models are already being tested in a daily chemical factory, signaling a push from demos toward industrial deployment.
