Diffusion-based vision-language-action (VLA) models often inherit the image-generation view: actions are generated by iterative denoising. We argue that VLA action generation has a different condition-target structure: the policy is conditioned on rich observations, language, and state, but predicts only a compact, low-dimensional action chunk.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising approach for generalizable robotic manipulations. In particular, flow matching-based VLA models have shown remarkable success due to their capability to generate precise and smooth action sequences and capture multimodal distributions.

Adversarial patches applied to Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) policies not only corrupt actions immediately but also leave lasting state effects that persist after the patch is removed. The study introduces a state‑restoration protocol that evaluates recoverability after patch removal, distinguishing true adversarial impact from occlusion or action‑error magnitude. Experiments on OpenVLA‑OFT with EDPA attacks show that only 36.2% of episodes recover after five chunks, while controls recover at much higher rates; a recovery adapter can improve recovery but its effectiveness drops with delayed intervention.
