A multimodal transformer generates and caches interleaved text-image traces to guide closed-loop actions, achieving 92.4% success on LIBERO-Long and 95.5% average on LIBERO.
Discrete diffusion policies act as natural asynchronous executors for robotics by treating action generation as iterative unmasking, yielding higher success rates and lower computation than flow-matching real-time chunking in dynamic tasks.
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.
GuidedVLA improves VLA generalization by supervising individual attention heads with manually defined auxiliary signals for three task-relevant factors.
AsyncVLA adds asynchronous flow matching and a confidence rater to VLA models so they can generate actions on flexible schedules and selectively refine low-confidence tokens before execution.
Coarse-to-Control adds planning via coarse action tokens in the same vocabulary as control actions, improving VLA performance on long-horizon manipulation tasks.
Parameter differences from two training runs on a small task set are treated as auxiliary capability vectors that are merged into a pretrained VLA model, yielding auxiliary-task gains at the cost of ordinary supervised finetuning plus a simple regularization term.
The paper introduces World Action Models as a new paradigm unifying predictive world modeling with action generation in embodied foundation models and provides a taxonomy of existing approaches.
