Cool project! That validation loss curve screams train set memorization without generalization ability.
Too little train data, and/or data of insufficient quality. Maybe let the robot run autonomously with an (expensive) VLM operating it to bootstrap a larger train dataset without needing to annotate it yourself.
Or maybe the problem itself is poorly specified, or intractable with your chosen network architecture. But if you see that a vision llm can pilot the bot, at least you know you have a fighting chance.
