CereVLA is a cerebellum-inspired framework that enhances vision‑language‑action (VLA) policies by adding lightweight residual refinement and predictive consequence evaluation to frozen VLA execution. It generates corrective actions via flow‑based residual refinement, then assesses their short‑ and interval‑horizon impacts using a recurrent state‑space model and a history‑aware classifier, suppressing unfavorable corrections with a lightweight governor. Experiments on LIBERO‑10, LIBERO‑GOAL, and SO‑101 show that CereVLA improves task success rates and reduces control steps compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

The paper introduces BAS‑VLA, a task‑semantic action calibration framework for vision‑language‑action models that addresses two failure modes: unnecessary action drift under appearance changes and insufficient behavioral change under semantic alterations. BAS‑VLA uses a breaking‑centered calibration core and a selective evidence‑gated preserving auxiliary to maintain performance on clean and semantics‑preserving conditions while suppressing stale‑task behavior. Experiments on OpenPI‑pi0.5 and LIBERO‑Object Milk‑Swap show high success rates on clean and preserved tasks, a dramatic drop under target‑object swaps, and improved robustness to style shifts from 42% to 70% without harming clean performance.

LoopVLA introduces a recurrent Vision‑Language‑Action architecture that learns to refine multimodal representations, predict actions, and estimate when further refinement is unnecessary. By iteratively applying a shared Transformer block and producing a sufficiency score at each step, it decouples refinement from fixed layer indices and aligns confidence scores with action quality through a self‑supervised objective. Experiments on LIBERO, LIBERO‑Plus, and VLA‑Arena demonstrate that LoopVLA reduces model parameters by 45% and boosts inference throughput up to 1.7× while matching or surpassing strong baselines in task success.
