RARM is a lightweight visual comparator trained once on general videos that supplies dense progress rewards to RL by matching rollout clips to a reference demonstration and gating rewards on match confidence.
SARM2 presents RM, a multi-task stage-aware reward model achieving 80% lower value-estimation MSE, which when used in SPIRAL boosts manipulation task success from ~50% to near-perfect on several benchmarks.
A framework learns invariant symbolic reward functions from few demonstrations that generalize zero-shot to variations in robotic manipulation tasks.
SimDist pretrains world models in simulation and adapts them to real-world robots by updating only the latent dynamics model, enabling rapid improvement on contact-rich tasks where prior methods fail.
RISE combines a controllable dynamics model and progress value model into a closed-loop self-improving pipeline that updates robot policies entirely in imagination, reporting over 35% absolute gains on three real-world tasks.
LifeLong-RFT applies chunking-level on-policy reinforcement learning with Quantized Action Consistency Reward, Continuous Trajectory Alignment Reward, and Format Compliance Reward to fine-tune VLA models, achieving a 22% average success rate gain over supervised fine-tuning on the LIBERO benchmark's
Expecting over scoring-token logits yields continuous, scalable verification that improves agent trajectory selection and dense RL rewards across coding, robotics, and medical benchmarks.
InSight enables autonomous acquisition of manipulation primitives in VLAs via automated segmentation for steerability and a VLM-guided data flywheel that generates and integrates new demonstrations for tasks like pouring and sweeping.
DexPIE improves dexterous manipulation success rates by 37% over demo policies via real-world experience collection with adapted intervention, multi-stage DAgger, asynchronous relative-action inference, and optimality conditioning.
AscendOptimizer combines kernel rewinding for reusable experience with evolutionary search on hardware feedback to optimize Ascend NPU operators, delivering 1.21x geometric-mean speedup and faster performance on 53.47% of 101 tested operators versus baseline.
This survey organizes large VLM-based VLA models for robotic manipulation into monolithic and hierarchical paradigms, reviews their integrations and datasets, and outlines future directions.
