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.

Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera extrinsics are explicitly provided, making them fragile and hard to use especially when view robustness is critical.
arXiv:2607. 25912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong potential for general robot manipulation, but most existing models rely on 2D visual-language backbones and lack fine-grained 3D understanding of target objects, especially under occlusion, pose variation, scale changes, and precise spatial interaction.

FOCAL‑VLA is a framework that improves vision‑language‑action models by combining subtask‑guided geometry distillation with implicit world modeling. It transfers geometric knowledge from VGGT to focus on subtask‑relevant image regions and uses Track4World features to capture future 3D evolution, guiding action generation without running these models at inference time. Experiments demonstrate that FOCAL‑VLA outperforms baselines on both simulation benchmarks and real‑world manipulation tasks.
