Splat2Act: From Captured Scenes to Personalized VLA Manipulation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

Splat2Act is an automated real‑to‑sim‑to‑real pipeline that personalizes a pretrained vision‑language‑action policy for a specific indoor scene using only a handheld phone scan and images of the user’s objects. It constructs a photorealistic digital twin with 3D Gaussian splatting, discovers receptacles, generates over 68,000 pickup demonstrations via a simulation oracle, and fine‑tunes the policy in two stages—first on public objects, then on the user’s own items—achieving up to 62.5% pickup success in target scenes. The approach demonstrates that such personalization can be achieved without costly real‑world demonstrations, with a real Stretch 3 robot matching simulated success rates on a 12‑task subset.

Pose6DAug: Physically Plausible Multi-view Object Swapping for Robot Data Augmentation

arXiv:2606. 20118v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) policies have shown strong potential for general-purpose manipulation, yet they often fail on novel, out-of-distribution objects whose appearance or geometry deviates from the training distribution.

LabVLA: Grounding Vision-Language-Action Models in Scientific Laboratories

arXiv:2606. 13578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific laboratories increasingly rely on AI systems to reason about experiments, but the physical act of doing science remains largely outside their reach.
