PaceVLA: Adaptive Temporal Action Quantization in Vision-Language-Action Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

PaceVLA introduces adaptive temporal action quantization for Vision‑Language‑Action models, enabling faster robot execution by aggregating low‑level actions into coarser steps when appropriate. The framework combines mode‑specific action decoders with a quantizability‑guided mode selection and a context‑conditioned router to decide execution granularity at each inference step. Experiments on simulation benchmarks and real‑world tasks demonstrate that PaceVLA improves execution efficiency while preserving task success rates across diverse embodiments.

Reinforcement Learning for Real-Time Vision-Language-Action Policies

The paper presents Real‑Time EXPO‑FT, a reinforcement learning framework that fine‑tunes large Vision‑Language‑Action models for real‑time robotic control. It separates slow, expressive action generation from fast, reactive edits, allowing a lightweight policy to adjust actions based on the latest observation. Experiments on the Kinetix benchmark and four dynamic real‑world tasks show that Real‑Time EXPO‑FT achieves superior performance, improving policy success rates from 42% to 97% with only ten minutes of online data and no human intervention.
