See Less, Specify More: Visual Evidence Budgets for Generalizable VLAs

arXiv:2606. 02735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalization remains a central bottleneck for vision-language-action (VLA) models: under distractors, appearance shifts, and semantically similar tasks, the policy must often infer local execution details from coarse instructions while also deciding which parts of the image matter for control.

Traj-LeWM: Path-Aware World-Model Planning via Latent Trajectory Cost

arXiv:2608. 14125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LeWM is a lightweight visual world model that learns latent dynamics end-to-end from pixels and ranks candidate action sequences by the distance between their predicted endpoints and the goal.

TaskSense: Focusing on What Matters in World Models

arXiv:2608. 06544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models for visual control typically learn compact latent states by reconstructing observations, implicitly encouraging representations to preserve information across the entire visual input.
