arXiv:2608. 03701v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-action modeling has emerged as a promising paradigm for robotic control, as it empowers models to go beyond reacting to observations and anticipate how a scene will evolve.
The paper introduces Self‑Adaptive VLA, a post‑training method that lets Vision‑Language‑Action policies self‑adapt to deployment‑time hardware shifts by using rollouts as context. It creates shift‑conditioned expert demonstrations, compresses visual, proprioceptive, and action data into a latent context token, and modulates the policy via adaptive layer normalization. Experiments on four precision‑critical manipulation tasks show the method recovers over 80 % of the base policy’s performance under actuation bias and encoder offsets, and improves robustness on new workstations.
