VLA Grounder: Language-Conditioning Space Optimization for Black-Box VLA Models
Damir Shodiev, Aleksei Staroverov, Nikita Kachaev +2
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are commonly treated as end-to-end action policies conditioned on natural-language task descriptions. In practice, however, their behavior often…
KAGE-Bench: Fast Known-Axis Visual Generalization Evaluation for Reinforcement Learning
Egor Cherepanov, Daniil Zelezetsky, Alexey K. Kovalev +1
Pixel-based reinforcement learning agents often fail under purely visual distribution shift even when latent dynamics and rewards are unchanged, but existing benchmarks entangle mu…
Does VLA Even Know the Basics? Measuring Commonsense and World Knowledge Retention in Vision-Language-Action Models
Nikita Kachaev, Andrey Moskalenko, Matvey Skripkin +10
Embodied Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are typically obtained by fine-tuning powerful pretrained VLMs on robotics data, yet it is unclear how much commonsense and factual kno…
VLA: On Recurrent Memory for Partially Observable Manipulation in VLA Models
Egor Cherepanov, Nikita Kachaev, Daniil Zelezetsky +6
Vision-language-action (VLA) models predict chunks of future actions from the current observation, an assumption that fails under partial observability, where decisions depend on i…
MARL-GPT: Foundation Model for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Maria Nesterova, Mikhail Kolosov, Anton Andreychuk +6
Recent advances in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) have demonstrated success in numerous challenging domains and environments, but typically require specialized models fo…
ELMUR: External Layer Memory with Update/Rewrite for Long-Horizon RL Problems
Egor Cherepanov, Alexey K. Kovalev, Aleksandr I. Panov
Real-world robotic agents must act under partial observability and long horizons, where key cues may appear long before they affect decision making. However, most modern approaches…
