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.

The paper investigates how visuomotor imitation policies fail when visually similar distractors are introduced, framing the issue as conditional visual grounding where the target changes with manipulation phase and task state. Using Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT), the authors systematically vary color and shape similarity of distractors, pinpointing failures to picking and placement stages. They then test distractor augmentation, phase‑dependent attention regularization, and appearance‑based visual prompting, which together significantly improve robustness in simulation and on a physical UR3e robot, and demonstrate similar improvements on a pretrained vision‑language‑action policy for instrument handling.
