Cross-embodiment transfer in vision-language-action (VLA) models remains challenging because low-level state and action spaces differ fundamentally across robot platforms. We observe that the high-level cognitive process underlying manipulation, including scene perception, object identification, task planning, and sub-task decomposition, is largely shared across embodiments. Based on this observation, we present ZR-0, a 2.6 billion parameter end-to-end VLA model that uses dense Embodied Chain-of-Thought (ECoT) supervision to align cross-embodiment representations within the vision-language model (VLM). ZR-0 adopts a dual-stream architecture: a pre-trained VLM (System 2) generates structured ECoT reasoning during training, while a Diffusion Transformer-based action expert (System 1) produces continuous action chunks via flow matching. The two components are coupled through cross-attention, with an attention mask that restricts the action expert to input prompt features only, enabling ECoT generation to be entirely skipped at inference without any performance loss. ZR-0 is pre-trained on ProcCorpus-60M, a large-scale dataset comprising approximately 60 million frames (approximately 1,000 hours) from over 400K trajectories, with dense ECoT annotations covering 96.8% of all frames. We evaluate ZR-0 on three simulation benchmarks spanning single-arm (LIBERO), bimanual (RoboTwin 2.0), and humanoid (RoboCasa GR-1 Tabletop) embodiments, as well as real-world experiments on the xArm platform, demonstrating strong performance across all settings.
