This model implements a Mixture of Diffusion Experts architecture for robotic manipulation, combining transformer-based backbone with noise-only expert routing. For faster inference, we can precache the chosen expert for each timestep to reduce computation time.

The model has been pretrained on a subset of OXE for 300k steps and finetuned for downstream tasks on the CALVIN/LIBERO dataset.
