AutoSpeed learns annotation-free, stage-adaptive robot motion speeds by optimizing policies toward the minimum-cost DCT-retimed multi-speed demonstration target.
Tri-Info uses three information theory signals on action diversity, temporal consistency, and state coupling to predict VLA model failures with cross-domain generalization to 83% real-world accuracy.
AEGIS uses activation probes for early-warning detection of high-risk steps in weak policies and selectively escalates to stronger policies, recovering 10.1% of lost trajectories on LIBERO-Spatial while activating the strong policy on only 38% of steps.
A retrieve-then-steer method stores successful robot actions in memory and uses them to steer a frozen VLA's flow-matching sampler for better test-time reliability without parameter updates.
RePO-VLA raises average adversarial success rates in VLA manipulation from 20% to 75% by using recovery-aware initialization, a progress-aware semantic value function, and value-conditioned refinement on success and corrective trajectories.
Temporal difference calibration aligns uncertainty estimates in vision-language-action models with their value functions for better sequential performance.
CMP projects actions onto a learned competence manifold using a frame-wise safety scheme and isomorphic latent space to achieve up to 10x better survival in out-of-distribution scenarios with under 10% tracking loss.
ROBOGATE applies adaptive boundary-focused sampling in simulation to discover robot policy failure boundaries, revealing a 97.65 percentage point performance gap for a VLA model between LIBERO and industrial scenarios.
