HazardArena shows VLA models trained on safe data frequently produce unsafe actions in semantically risky but visually similar settings, and a training-free Safety Option Layer reduces those failures with little performance cost.
DFM-VLA uses discrete flow matching to iteratively refine action tokens in VLA models, outperforming autoregressive and diffusion baselines with 4.44 average success length on CALVIN and 95.7% success on LIBERO.
DOMINO dataset and PUMA architecture enable better dynamic robotic manipulation by incorporating motion history, delivering 6.3% higher success rates than prior VLA models.
