M2Tok: Multi-head Multi-codebook Discrete Action Tokenization for Vision-Language-Action Models

The paper introduces M2Tok, a Multi-head Multi-codebook Action Tokenizer that reduces reconstruction loss for continuous action signals by decomposing latent features into multiple heads and assigning independent codebooks to each. This design expands representational expressivity, leading to lower reconstruction error and higher success rates in Vision‑Language‑Action models evaluated on RoboTwin, Simpler‑Env, and zero‑shot real‑world tasks. Ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of both multi‑head and multi‑codebook mechanisms.

${M}^2$Tok: Multi-head Multi-codebook Discrete Action Tokenization for Vision-Language-Action Models

The paper introduces ${M}^2$Tok, a Multi-head Multi-codebook Action Tokenizer that reduces reconstruction loss in discrete action tokenization for Vision‑Language‑Action models. By decomposing latent action features into multiple heads and assigning independent codebooks to each, the tokenizer expands representational expressivity and improves policy performance. Experiments on RoboTwin, Simpler‑Env, and zero‑shot real‑world tasks show superior reconstruction fidelity and higher success rates compared to prior methods.

TS-Mask VLA: 2D Temporal-Spatial Masking for Vision-Language-Action Model with Effective Bridging

arXiv:2607. 09818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models aim to understand natural-language instructions and visual observations, and to generate and execute corresponding actions as embodied agents.
