Week 15: Training, Transfer & Hybrid

Phase VII · Days 99–105 · 17.5 hours

This week bridges VLA research and real-world deployment: training recipes, sim-to-real transfer, and the critical hybrid architecture pattern where VLAs handle high-level reasoning while classical controllers ensure safe execution.
