This guide covers the end-to-end process of teaching a low-cost robot arm to do a pick-and-place task and then running a vision and motor control policy on a Synaptics Astra SL2610-Series development kit — no cloud, no GPU, and no host PC needed at inference time. This is a hands-on example of Physical AI: models that perceive and act in the real world, running entirely on-device.

This is a companion piece to the real-time speech recognition blog, which walked through exporting Moonshine V2 specifically. Here I want to zoom out and describe the general recipe that torq-tools uses to take any PyTorch model down to a .vmfb binary that runs on the Torq T1 NPU. If you have your own model you'd like to bring to the board, this is the shape the work will take.
