Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric $V \to L \to A$ pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although effective, this design incurs substantial computation and memory overhead at every policy invocation.
arXiv:2608. 04765v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide a unified paradigm for connecting visual perception, language understanding, and robotic control.
arXiv:2606. 09572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action models have shown strong promise for robot manipulation, yet raw language is primarily needed to specify task intent rather than to be repeatedly processed during high-frequency low-level execution.
V-Link is a method designed to enhance Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) models by recovering visual representations during the transfer from vision‑language (VL) features to action (A) features. It introduces complementary Spatial and Semantic Query representations that are injected into Action DiT through asymmetric pathways, providing both semantic augmentation and dedicated geometric conditioning for action generation. Experiments on LIBERO, LIBERO‑Plus, RoboTwin 2.0, and real‑world AGIBOT A3 Ultra tasks show significant performance gains over the base GR00T N1.6 model.

The paper introduces ACT^3, an Action-Centric Tri-Stream Transformer that merges semantic insights from Vision‑Language Models with dynamics predictions from World Models to generate control actions for robotic manipulation. By allowing a dedicated action expert to attend to both VLM and WM representations while keeping each backbone’s forward pass independent, ACT^3 preserves the distinct roles of context streams. Experiments on simulated and real‑world benchmarks demonstrate that ACT^3 outperforms existing approaches.
