arXiv:2605. 19294v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies increasingly rely on asynchronous inference to hide large-model latency behind ongoing robot motion.
arXiv:2607. 12659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved impressive performance on diverse embodied tasks.
The paper introduces ARLI, a latency‑aware framework that enables reinforcement learning fine‑tuning of large generalist robot policies despite inference delays. ARLI combines asynchronous inference with state augmentations—incorporating committed actions and mid‑inference observations—to restore near‑Markovian dynamics and maintain reactivity. Experiments on simulated and real‑world manipulation tasks show that ARLI allows effective policy improvement under latency, outperforming standard RL even in no‑latency scenarios.
arXiv:2608. 15636v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in the field of embodied AI, but their high computational cost and limited predicted action length hinder real-time deployment.
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.
