UniTacVLA: Unified Tactile Understanding and Prediction in Vision Language Action Models
Xidong Zhang, Yichi Zhang, Jiaxin Shi +5
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved strong performance in many robotic manipulation tasks, yet remain limited in contact-rich dexterous manipulation. To overcome this…
LACE: Latent Visual Representation for Cross-Embodiment Learning
Yoo Sung Jang, Kanchana Ranasinghe, Cristina Mata +3
Cross-embodiment learning from human demonstrations is hindered by the visual gap between human and robot embodiments. While self-supervised learning (SSL) backbones encode rich in…
FocusVLA: Focused Visual Utilization for Vision-Language-Action Models
Yichi Zhang, Weihao Yuan, Yizhuo Zhang +2
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models improve action generation by conditioning policies on rich vision-language information. However, current auto-regressive policies are constraine…
AimBot: A Simple Auxiliary Visual Cue to Enhance Spatial Awareness of Visuomotor Policies
Yinpei Dai, Jayjun Lee, Yichi Zhang +6
In this paper, we propose AimBot, a lightweight visual augmentation technique that provides explicit spatial cues to improve visuomotor policy learning in robotic manipulation. Aim…
