arXiv:2508. 20072v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models adapt large vision-language backbones to map images and instructions into robot actions.
arXiv:2606. 05737v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based vision-language-action (VLA) models often inherit the image-generation view: actions are generated by iterative denoising.
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.
arXiv:2607. 09818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models aim to understand natural-language instructions and visual observations, and to generate and execute corresponding actions as embodied agents.
Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric $V \to L \to A$ pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although effective, this design incurs substantial computation and memory overhead at every policy invocation.
arXiv:2606. 20246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models pre-trained on massive video-robot datasets have revolutionized robotic manipulation, yet their multi-billion parameter architectures impose prohibitive computational burdens during downstream fine-tuning and real-time inference.
arXiv:2607. 23909v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many recent robot policies pursue stronger control by using large pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) as the action backbone.

arXiv:2606. 30113v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete action tokenization provides a compact interface for autoregressive VLA policies, but accurately recovering continuous robot actions from discrete codes remains challenging.
arXiv:2607. 01586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action models (VLAs) have recently advanced robotic manipulation, yet the effects of different robot-data pre-training paradigms remain difficult to compare because existing models often differ in architecture, data, action space, and evaluation protocol.
arXiv:2608. 11739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The prevailing recipe for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models couples a pretrained VLM with a separately trained flow-matching action expert.
arXiv:2607. 14280v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow-matching-based vision-language-action (VLA) models have emerged as powerful policies for robotic manipulation, yet a critical capability remains underexplored: fine-grained behavioral control, the ability to govern how a robot performs a task by intervening on its internal representations.
arXiv:2605. 31286v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world household robots require Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models that can acquire reusable manipulation skills across diverse objects, task conditions, and household environments.
