Foresight Residual RL for Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation with Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2607. 16506v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies offer strong general-purpose manipulation priors, but often fail on tight-tolerance, contact-rich assembly due to long-horizon credit assignment and subtask coupling: a state that is geometrically successful for the current skill can be brittle for downstream skills.

Learning More from Less: Reinforcement Learning from Hindsight

arXiv:2607. 09042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly used to post-train vision-language-action (VLA) models, but every update consumes robot rollouts that are slow and costly to collect, making sample efficiency a central concern.

ValueFormer: A Causal Transformer Value Function with Stage-Aware Labels for Semi-Autonomous Vision-Language-Action Policies

arXiv:2608. 02958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies trained by behavior cloning fail silently: from the action stream alone, a collapsing rollout looks much like one making clean progress, because imitation supplies no notion of progress.
