RotVLA models latent actions as continuous SO(n) rotations with triplet-frame supervision and flow-matching to reach 98.2% success on LIBERO and 89.6%/88.5% on RoboTwin2.0 using a 1.7B-parameter model.
ROSA introduces shared GPU-pool serving, robotics-aware abstractions for multi-model pipelines, and factory-productivity scheduling that improves output by up to 12.06x over dedicated per-robot systems.
vla.cpp is a unified C++ runtime that serves multiple VLA architectures with flow-matching and diffusion patterns, matching SOTA performance on LIBERO while running on low-memory embedded hardware.
FocusDepth is a prompt-conditioned framework that fuses SAM3 features into Depth Anything models via Multi-Scale Spatial-Aligned Fusion to improve target-region depth accuracy on the new FDE-Bench.
ALAM introduces algebraic consistency regularization on latent action transitions from videos, raising VLA success rates from 47.9% to 85.0% on MetaWorld MT50 and 94.1% to 98.1% on LIBERO.
FASTER adds a Horizon-Aware Schedule to flow VLAs that compresses immediate-action denoising to one step while keeping long-horizon trajectory quality, lowering real-robot reaction latency.
Legato trains flow-based VLA policies with schedule-shaped action-noise mixtures and randomized conditions to achieve smoother trajectories and ~10% faster task completion than real-time chunking across five real-world manipulation tasks.
PALM improves long-horizon robotic manipulation success by distilling affordance representations for object interaction and predicting within-subtask progress in a VLA model.
Evo-Depth is a compact VLA model using a lightweight implicit depth encoder from RGB views plus progressive alignment to boost manipulation performance without added hardware.
