Summary & Methodology Analysis
RynnBrain 1.1 is built on Qwen3.5 backbones, utilizing a unified spatio-temporal framework to ground visual information in the physical world. The architecture implements specialized pretraining tasks, specifically contact-point prediction to determine grasp centers and orientation, alongside native 3D grounding via 3D bounding box prediction. This allows the model to interpret spatial relationships more effectively, moving beyond 2D image analysis into 3D physical interactions.
