The Geometric Nature and a Free Proxy for Flow-Matching Uncertainty

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Flow matching (FM) has become a popular action head paradigm for modern embodied models. However, as a conditional generative model, it does not explicitly expose its inherent uncertainty, producing faulty action chunks even when it misinterprets the scene or encounters out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs.

Uncertainty Quantification for Flow-Based Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action models (VLAs) combine vision-language backbones with expressive generative action heads trained via flow matching on large-scale robotic datasets. Despite their strong empirical performance in robotic manipulation, VLAs lack mechanisms to quantify confidence in their predictions and to detect when their actions may be unreliable.

GeoAAC: Geometry-Based Adaptive Action Chunking from Denoising Trajectories in VLA Policies

GeoAAC introduces a geometry-based adaptive action chunking technique for Vision‑Language‑Action policies, dynamically adjusting the action horizon based on the reliability of current action predictions. By leveraging the geometric variation in Flow Matching denoising trajectories, GeoAAC constructs a horizon‑wise geometric profile that determines the action horizon during a single generation without extra training. Experiments on LIBERO, LIBERO‑Pro, RoboCasa365, and real‑world manipulation tasks demonstrate consistent gains over fixed‑horizon baselines, achieving up to 8.7 percentage points improvement in simulation and raising real‑world success rates from 53.3% to 74.4%.
