abstract
Offering great potential in robotic manipulation, a capable Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation model is expected to faithfully generalize across tasks and platforms while ensuring cost efficiency (e.g., data and GPU hours required for adaptation). To this end, we develop LingBot-VLA with around 20,000 hours of real-world data from 9 popular dual-arm robot configurations. Through a systematic assessment on 3 robotic platforms, each completing 100 tasks with 130 post-training episodes per task, our model achieves clear superiority over competitors, showcasing its strong performance and broad generalizability. We have also built an efficient codebase, which delivers a throughput of 261 samples per second with an 8-GPU training setup, representing a 1.5~2.8$\times$ (depending on the relied VLM base model) speedup over existing VLA-oriented codebases. The above features ensure that our model is well-suited for real-world deployment. To advance the field of robot learning, we provide open access to the code, base model, and benchmark data, with a focus on enabling more challenging tasks and promoting sound evaluation standards.

Being-H0.7 adds future-aware latent reasoning to direct VLA policies via dual-branch alignment on latent queries, matching world-model benefits at VLA efficiency.
Mini-BEHAVIOR-Gran benchmark reveals a U-shaped effect of instruction granularity on embodied agent performance, with planning-width correlating best and coarse instructions linked to vision-dominant shallow policies.
HumanNet is a 1M-hour human-centric video dataset with interaction annotations that enables better vision-language-action model performance than equivalent robot data in a controlled test.
PRTS pretrains VLA models with contrastive goal-conditioned RL to embed goal-reachability probabilities from offline data, yielding SOTA results on robotic benchmarks especially for long-horizon and novel instructions.
LoHo-Manip enables robust long-horizon robot manipulation by using a receding-horizon VLM manager to output progress-aware subtask sequences and 2D visual traces that condition a VLA executor for automatic replanning.
