Finetuning Vision-Language-Action Models Requires Fewer Layers Than You Think

Gia-Binh Nguyen, Trong-Bao Ho, Thien-Loc Ha et al.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models pre-trained on massive video-robot datasets have revolutionized robotic manipulation, yet their multi-billion parameter architectures impose prohibitive computational burdens during downstream fine-tuning and real-time inference.

Invertible Neural Network Adapter for One-Step Flow Matching in Robot Manipulation

Yu Zhang, Kangyi Ji, Yongxiang Zou et al.

This paper presents an invertible neural network adapter for general robotic manipulation, designed to generate precise high-dimensional actions conditioned on multimodal observations, including visual, linguistic, and proprioceptive inputs, through a one-step denoising process.

Object-Centric Residual RL for Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real VLA Enhancement

Kinam Kim, Namiko Saito, Heecheol Kim et al.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models can generalize across diverse manipulation tasks, but their imitation-learning-based policies remain brittle in precise physical interactions due to compounding execution errors; Can a reinforcement learning policy trained purely in simulation improve the robustness of real-world VLAs zero-shot?

WorldSample: Closed-loop Real-robot RL with World Modelling

Yuquan Xue, Le Xu, Zeyi Liu et al.

Reinforcement learning (RL) can overcome the demonstration-coverage limitation of imitation learning (IL) by allowing robots to improve through trial-and-error interaction beyond the states observed in demonstrations.
