Discover, Learn, and Reinforce: Scaling Vision-Language-Action Pretraining with Diverse RL-Generated Trajectories

Rushuai Yang, Zhiyuan Feng, Tianxiang Zhang +6

Scaling vision-language-action (VLA) model pre-training requires large volumes of diverse, high-quality manipulation trajectories. Most current data is obtained via human teleopera…

How Do VLAs Effectively Inherit from VLMs?

Chuheng Zhang, Rushuai Yang, Xiaoyu Chen +4

Vision-language-action (VLA) models hold the promise to attain generalizable embodied control. To achieve this, a pervasive paradigm is to leverage the rich vision-semantic priors…

Dyn-O: Building Structured World Models with Object-Centric Representations

Zizhao Wang, Kaixin Wang, Li Zhao +2

World models aim to capture the dynamics of the environment, enabling agents to predict and plan for future states. In most scenarios of interest, the dynamics are highly centered…

What Do Latent Action Models Actually Learn?

Chuheng Zhang, Tim Pearce, Pushi Zhang +5

Latent action models (LAMs) aim to learn action-relevant changes from unlabeled videos by compressing changes between frames as latents. However, differences between video frames c…
