CoRAL lets LLMs act as adaptive cost designers for motion planners while using VLM priors and online identification to handle unknown physics, achieving over 50% higher success rates than baselines in unseen contact-rich robotic scenarios.
MoSS augments VLAs with decoupled modality streams for multiple physical signals, achieving synergistic gains in real-world robot tasks via joint attention and auxiliary future-signal prediction.
TouchGuide improves contact-rich robot manipulation by steering diffusion or flow-matching visuomotor policies with tactile feasibility scores from a contrastively trained Contact Physical Model.
A two-stage IL-RL method with tactile group sampling and a tactile critic achieves 67% success at 0.05 mm clearance while cutting max force by 60% and torque by 44%.
E-VLA integrates event streams directly into VLA models via lightweight fusion, raising Pick-Place success from 0% to 60-90% at 20 lux and from 0% to 20-25% under severe motion blur.
Adaptive Action Chunking uses action entropy to dynamically adjust chunk sizes in VLA models, improving performance on simulated and real robotic manipulation tasks.
SCFields fuses semantics and contact data in a sim-to-real pipeline to enable category-level generalization for tactile tool manipulation with diffusion policies.
HTD, a multimodal transformer policy trained with behavioral cloning and touch dreaming to predict future tactile latents, achieves a 90.9% relative success rate improvement over baselines on five real-world contact-rich humanoid loco-manipulation tasks.
This survey organizes large VLM-based VLA models for robotic manipulation into monolithic and hierarchical paradigms, reviews their integrations and datasets, and outlines future directions.
A survey proposing a hierarchical taxonomy for multimodal tactile fusion datasets and methods across perception, generation, and interaction in embodied intelligence.
RLDX-1 outperforms frontier VLAs such as π0.5 and GR00T N1.6 on dexterous manipulation benchmarks, reaching 86.8% success on ALLEX humanoid tasks versus around 40% for the baselines.
