arXiv:2607. 04171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown strong multimodal understanding and spatial grounding, but their computational cost limits real-time robotic control.
arXiv:2607. 04171v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tiny Vision-Language-Action models are appealing for real-time robotic control, but reducing model scale often weakens two capabilities essential for manipulation: task-conditioned spatial grounding and coherent action generation.
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:2606. 08530v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve strong benchmark performance but still struggle in real-world deployment with unseen objects, background shifts, and different robot embodiments.
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.
V-Link is a method designed to enhance Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) models by recovering visual representations during the transfer from vision‑language (VL) features to action (A) features. It introduces complementary Spatial and Semantic Query representations that are injected into Action DiT through asymmetric pathways, providing both semantic augmentation and dedicated geometric conditioning for action generation. Experiments on LIBERO, LIBERO‑Plus, RoboTwin 2.0, and real‑world AGIBOT A3 Ultra tasks show significant performance gains over the base GR00T N1.6 model.
arXiv:2607. 04927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) provide a promising alternative to Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies by using video-based world modeling as dense supervision for robot action learning.
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:2607.04171v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: How can richer training supervision improve robot control while keeping the deployed policy compact? We present XS-VLA, a staged training fra...
arXiv:2608.29208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, built upon Vision-Language Models (VLMs), have significantly enhanced robotic capabilities by leveraging interne...
RoboSPA is a large-scale robotic manipulation dataset and benchmark designed to evaluate Vision‑Language‑Action models on fine‑grained spatial reasoning and long‑horizon procedural planning. It contains 10 task categories, 56 base tasks, and 280 variants across five difficulty levels, with 527K trajectories collected from multiple embodiments and scenes. The benchmark introduces diagnostic metrics beyond binary success, revealing that current VLA models struggle with complex spatial relations, precise execution, and memory‑intensive planning.
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.
arXiv:2609.25627v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: General-purpose robot control requires models to understand task intent, identify where to interact, capture how the scene evolves, and generate prec...
