large behavior model

noun \ˈlärj bi-ˈhā-vyər ˈmä-dᵊl\

also large behavioral model or LBM

Definition of large behavior model

  1. : a large, general-purpose model trained across many robot demonstrations or action trajectories to generate behavior for multiple physical tasks rather than controlling only one narrowly programmed skill

    • The humanoid's large behavior model coordinated walking, lifting, and packing through one learned policy.
    • Engineers added a new manipulation skill to the LBM by collecting demonstrations instead of writing a separate controller from scratch.
  2. : a foundation-scale model trained on chronological records of human or user actions to represent behavioral patterns and predict what action may happen next, often with a probability or time window

    • The retailer used a large behavioral model to estimate which customers were likely to visit after a promotion.
    • A behavioral prediction is probabilistic, so the LBM's output should not be treated as a fixed description of a person.

Origin & history

first known use2023

Toyota Research Institute publicly described its goal of building Large Behavior Models for robots in September 2023, drawing an analogy with large language models. By 2025–2026, robotics researchers were evaluating LBMs for multitask manipulation, while separate research and companies applied large behavioral model to foundation models trained on human event sequences, transactions, or structured behavioral profiles.
