arXiv:2606. 30113v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete action tokenization provides a compact interface for autoregressive VLA policies, but accurately recovering continuous robot actions from discrete codes remains challenging.
arXiv:2608. 10484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Action verbs describe not only the physical outcomes of actions, but also how those actions are performed.
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.
arXiv:2512. 24125v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: General-purpose robotic systems operating in open-world environments must achieve both broad generalization and high-precision action execution, a combination that remains challenging for existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models.
The paper introduces Direction-Scale Decomposition (DSD), an action representation that separates translation and rotation increments into direction and scale components before tokenization. DSD is evaluated with uniform binning and a B-spline tokenizer (BEAST) in both simulation and real-world manipulation tasks, showing improved success rates on LIBERO and SimplerEnv, especially under mixed-dataset training. Real-robot experiments confirm performance gains with and without robotics pretraining, supporting DSD as an effective representation for discrete-token vision-language-action models.
