Real-world deployment of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models is often bottlenecked by efficiency-performance trade-offs, cross-embodiment generalization, and execution smoothness. We present NebulaVLA...
The paper introduces a metric interaction framework for robotic manipulation that explicitly models object- and scene-level interactions in Cartesian space. It uses Interaction‑Centric Tokens (ICTs) to represent end‑effector trajectories relative to objects and a Metric Action Interaction Field (MAIF) to attend to scene point‑cloud features for geometry‑conditioned action corrections. Experiments show modest but consistent improvements across several benchmarks, including LIBERO, RoboTwin 2.0, and real‑world tasks.

The paper introduces VLAct, a Vision‑Language‑Action model that focuses on representation‑centric continued pre‑training rather than merely scaling robot data. VLAct is trained on diverse, multi‑embodiment robot data and preserves a broad VLM prior while encouraging shared action semantics across embodiments. Experiments across simulation, real‑world, and unseen‑embodiment settings show that VLAct consistently outperforms existing industrial VLA systems, achieving high success rates with only a modest compute budget and open‑source data.

arXiv:2606. 09572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action models have shown strong promise for robot manipulation, yet raw language is primarily needed to specify task intent rather than to be repeatedly processed during high-frequency low-level execution.
