Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated effectiveness in robot manipulation, yet state-of-the-art models such as pi0.5 operate under a single-frame paradigm, limiting their ability to re...
arXiv:2511. 18960v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable progress in embodied tasks recently, but most methods process visual observations independently at each timestep.
StreamPI introduces a streaming multimodal temporal modeling framework that enhances Vision‑Language‑Action models by adding temporal reasoning without extra parameters. It anchors each visual observation and language instruction pair as a temporal unit, using bidirectional attention for cross‑modal fusion and causal attention for autoregressive streaming inference. The method employs random‑interval streaming training to improve robustness and leverages the LLM backbone’s length extrapolation to inherit pretrained weights, achieving superior performance over pi0.5 on real‑robot and simulation tasks.

The paper introduces Action–Future Coupled Effect Learning (AFCE), a method that shifts the primary prediction target of vision‑language‑action (VLA) policies from action chunks to future‑grounded physical Effects. AFCE constructs temporally ordered Effect tokens from demonstrations, robot responses, and visual transitions, and uses reconstruction objectives to preserve executable detail and physical change. On the DexJoCo benchmark, AFCE achieves a 50.97% overall success rate, outperforming baseline policies by 11.82 and 15.21 percentage points and excelling on all five bimanual tasks, underscoring the benefit of Effect supervision for coordinated dexterous manipulation.
