Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera extrinsics are explicitly provided, making them fragile and hard to use especially when view robustness is critical.
GS‑VLA introduces a lightweight, plug‑and‑play framework that uses a 4 M‑parameter 3D‑Gaussian canonicalizer to adapt frozen Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) policies to viewpoint shifts without retraining the policy. By treating viewpoint changes as a localized novel‑view synthesis problem under a locality assumption, the method normalizes observations through a scene‑ and policy‑independent disocclusion task. Experiments on the LIBERO benchmark demonstrate that GS‑VLA recovers a large portion of performance lost due to camera displacement, improving results across different policy architectures, unseen task suites, and perturbation scales. whyItMatters":"The approach offers a computationally efficient alternative to costly fine‑tuning or generative augmentation, enabling robust VLA deployment in real‑world settings where camera configurations may vary."
World in World introduces a training‑free, inference‑time interface that transforms diverse control signals—such as source‑video observations, target‑view projections, geometry renderings, and retrieved states—into camera‑ and time‑labelled visual states. These states are processed by a frozen causal video model’s self‑attention, enabling tasks like camera‑controlled rerendering, long‑horizon revisiting, and human‑motion transfer without additional training. The method employs a correspondence router and evidence‑wise attention to align token identities and regulate auxiliary channel contributions during a single denoising pass.

The paper introduces EgoGenEval, a new benchmark that assesses the physical consistency of visual generators under ego‑motion by measuring Camera Motion Grounding and Scene State Preservation across 1,400 cases and 2,360 target views. Experiments on 16 pose‑free generators and two pose‑conditioned references show that current models struggle to maintain both camera motion and scene state simultaneously. A follow‑up study using EgoGen‑Train demonstrates that pairwise supervision does not effectively improve both metrics together, suggesting the need for a trajectory‑centric training paradigm.
