arXiv:2606. 12109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot generalization in robotic manipulation, yet the vast majority of pre-trained pipelines remain strictly confined to low-DoF parallel grippers.

The paper introduces EvoPrompt, a framework for adapting vision‑language models to new tasks with limited data while preventing catastrophic forgetting. EvoPrompt uses a Modality‑Shared Prompt Projector to create hierarchical prompts and an evolutionary training strategy that separates low‑rank updates into directional and magnitude components, preserving learned semantic directions. Experiments show that EvoPrompt achieves state‑of‑the‑art few‑shot performance while maintaining the original zero‑shot capabilities of the pre‑trained models.

FedBST introduces a bilateral self‑training framework for unsupervised federated classification using Vision‑Language Models. It addresses the shortcomings of prior methods by exploiting both high‑confidence and ambiguous samples through uncertainty‑aware confidence penalization (UACP) during local training and a visual‑text ensemble strategy at inference. Experiments show that FedBST consistently outperforms existing approaches under standard federated aggregation protocols.
