Dynin-Robotics: Omnimodal Unified Diffusion Vision-Language-Action Model

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

Dynin‑Robotics introduces an omnimodal masked‑diffusion backbone, Dynin‑Omni, that jointly represents language, visual observations, goals, and actions as discrete tokens. By conditioning on different spans, the same model learns action prediction, next‑observation prediction, goal‑state prediction, and trajectory‑to‑instruction reconstruction, enabling test‑time scaling through goal prediction and action‑candidate evaluation. The system, pretrained on 1.33 million trajectories from 48 Open X‑Embodiment datasets, achieves competitive performance on LIBERO, zero‑shot LIBERO‑Plus, and a 78.4 % success rate on a Franka Research 3 robot, while a block‑parallel implementation speeds up action decoding by up to 29.2×.

Act with Intent: Distilling Behavior Intent for Vision-Language-Action Models

The paper introduces Intention Distillation (INDI), a method that injects behavior-level intent into Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) model decoders by leveraging a frozen teacher vision‑language model to interpret demonstrations. During training, the teacher processes the current observation, instruction, coarse action summary, and execution video, producing a multimodal intent representation that the VLA decoder uses alongside trajectory and execution features to predict actions. Experiments on SimplerEnv‑Bridge, RoboCasa Kitchen, and real‑world tasks show that INDI consistently improves success rates, especially on longer‑horizon tasks, demonstrating that explicit modeling of semantic intent benefits action decoders.

Beyond Actions: Learning Future Operation Targets for Vision-Language-Action Models

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.

Qwen-VLA: Unifying Vision-Language-Action Modeling across Tasks, Environments, and Robot Embodiments

arXiv:2605. 30280v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Embodied intelligence is often studied through specialized models for individual tasks such as manipulation or navigation, resulting in fragmented capabilities and limited generalization across tasks, environments, and robot embodiments.
