The "Humanoid Vla Data Center 2026" series has 6 parts — read them in order from part 1.
Whole-body VLA
Two-Person Pilot for Humanoid VLA Data
Design the first humanoid VLA data session with two operators: camera, state, action, language, episode rules, and throughput.

Choosing the Humanoid Teleop Stack
Compare keyboard, SpaceMouse, OpenXR hand tracking, and GR00T WBC by latency, safety, and the action type you need.

ROS 2 MCAP as the Raw Log Standard
Design humanoid VLA raw logs with MCAP: record, writer YAML, replay, Foxglove inspection, and LeRobot/Robo-DM export.

LeRobotDataset and Robo-DM Data Lake
Design a two-tier data lake: LeRobot Parquet+MP4 for sharing and Robo-DM .vla trajectories for high-throughput VLA training.

Synthetic Data and QA with Isaac Lab
An Isaac Lab Mimic workflow for filtering demos, expanding 5 demos into 1000 trials, and QA before BC training.

Scaling to 20 Operators and VLA Evaluation
How to evaluate WholeBodyVLA, 50 Hz LMO, and WBC ONNX controllers while scaling humanoid data collection to 20 operators.
