  In this work, we study how to build a robotic system that can solve multiple
3D manipulation tasks given language instructions. To be useful in industrial
and household domains, such a system should be capable of learning new tasks
with few demonstrations and solving them precisely. Prior works, like PerAct
and RVT, have studied this problem, however, they often struggle with tasks
requiring high precision. We study how to make them more effective, precise,
and fast. Using a combination of architectural and system-level improvements,
we propose RVT-2, a multitask 3D manipulation model that is 6X faster in
training and 2X faster in inference than its predecessor RVT. RVT-2 achieves a
new state-of-the-art on RLBench, improving the success rate from 65% to 82%.
RVT-2 is also effective in the real world, where it can learn tasks requiring
high precision, like picking up and inserting plugs, with just 10
demonstrations. Visual results, code, and trained model are provided at:
