UniTacVLA builds a state-aware and dynamics-aware tactile prior via unified latent space, tactile chain-of-thought, and mixed real/predicted feedback controller to boost dexterous manipulation performance.
DAM-VLA decouples per-modality temporal processing in vision-language-action models via latent buffers refreshed at sensor rates, achieving 95.2% average success versus 40.95% for synchronous baselines on seven real-world manipulation tasks while enabling 100 Hz control.
TacForeSight trains a force-conditioned tactile world model to predict latent dynamics and uses those predictions as anticipatory priors inside a visuo-tactile policy for real-time contact-rich manipulation.
TORL-VLA couples a tactile wrench-aware VLA policy with a lightweight online RL module and an intervention-censored critic to improve success and efficiency on contact-rich robotic tasks.
SIM1 converts sparse real demonstrations into high-fidelity synthetic data through physics-aligned simulation, yielding policies that match real-data performance at a 1:15 ratio with 90% zero-shot success on deformable manipulation.
ForceFlow improves success rates by 37% on six real-world contact-rich tasks over ForceVLA by treating force as a global regulatory signal in a flow-matching policy with hierarchical vision-to-force decomposition.
LingBot-VLA 2.0 combines 60k hours of multi-embodiment pretraining data, an expanded whole-body action space, and dual-query distillation from depth and video teachers to improve VLA performance on GM-100 and long-horizon mobile manipulation tasks.
