CoStream composes semantic, predictive, and reactive behaviors on an SE(3) interface to enable precise, generalizable performance on eight real-world contact-rich manipulation tasks.
Reflective VLA improves VLA generalization on LIBERO-Plus and LIBERO-Plus-Hard by 5.4 and 4.2 percentage points by conditioning on action consequences instead of reactive single-frame inputs.
dVLA-RL models denoising as an MDP to enable RL on dVLAs via trajectory probabilities, reporting 99.7% success on LIBERO and 30.6% gains over SFT on RoboTwin 2.0.
PolicyTrim is an RL post-training framework that boosts VLA policy efficiency by 3x chunk utilization and 51.4% fewer steps, yielding up to 5.83x speedup.
SafeDojo is a new world model-based safe RL framework for VLA that outperforms baselines on SafeLIBERO and real robot tasks.
Adding recurrent memory tokens to VLA models raises success rates on partially observable manipulation tasks from 0.42 to 0.84 on training and 0.07 to 0.23 on held-out tasks while preserving performance under full observability.
Dexterity-BEV creates 3D vertex-based inputs and BEV-aligned outputs to reduce spatial-temporal misalignments in end-to-end robot policies trained on diverse datasets and embodiments.
