Beyond Monotonic Progress: Retry-Supervised Value Learning for Robot Imitation

Xinyao Qin, Junjie Lu, Kaixin Wang +7

Human demonstrations for robot imitation learning often contain mistakes and corrective behaviors, such as imprecise grasps, object misalignment, unstable contact, and repeated att…

Reinforcing VLAs in Task-Agnostic World Models

Yucen Wang, Rui Yu, Fengming Zhang +5

Post-training Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models via reinforcement learning (RL) in learned world models has emerged as an effective strategy to adapt to new tasks without costly…

From Human Videos to Robot Manipulation: A Survey on Scalable Vision-Language-Action Learning with Human-Centric Data

Zhiyuan Feng, Qixiu Li, Huizhi Liang +12

Recent progress in generalizable embodied control has been driven by large-scale pretraining of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. However, most existing approaches rely on large…

GEAR: Granularity-Adaptive Advantage Reweighting for LLM Agents via Self-Distillation

Sijia Li, Yuchen Huang, Zifan Liu +7

Reinforcement learning has become a widely used post-training approach for LLM agents, where training commonly relies on outcome-level rewards that provide only coarse supervision.…

Why Latent Actions Fail, and How to Prevent It

Jung Min Lee, Taehyun Cho, Li Zhao +1

Latent action models (LAMs) aim to learn action-like representations from unlabeled videos by compressing frame-to-frame changes. The frames of in-the-wild videos, however, contain…

WarmPrior: Straightening Flow-Matching Policies with Temporal Priors

Sinjae Kang, Chanyoung Kim, Kaixin Wang +2

Generative policies based on diffusion and flow matching have become a dominant paradigm for visuomotor robotic control. We show that replacing the standard Gaussian source distrib…

What to Ignore, What to React: Visually Robust RL Fine-Tuning of VLA Models

Yuanfang Peng, Jingjing Fu, Chuheng Zhang +6

Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning has shown promise for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models in robotic manipulation, but deployment-time visual shifts pose practical challeng…

VLA-GSE: Boosting Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning in VLA with Generalized and Specialized Experts

Yuhua Jiang, Junjie Lu, Xinyao Qin +4

Vision-language-action (VLA) models inherit rich visual-semantic priors from pre-trained vision-language backbones, but adapting them to robotic control remains challenging. Full f…

UniSteer: Unified Noise Steering for Efficient Human-Guided VLA Adaptation

Junjie Lu, Xinyao Qin, Yuhua Jiang +6

Diffusion-based vision-language-action (VLA) models have emerged as strong priors for robotic manipulation, yet adapting them to real-world distributions remains challenging. In pa…

Learning Additively Compositional Latent Actions for Embodied AI

Hangxing Wei, Xiaoyu Chen, Chuheng Zhang +5

Latent action learning infers pseudo-action labels from visual transitions, providing an approach to leverage internet-scale video for embodied AI. However, most methods learn late…

MVP-LAM: Learning Action-Centric Latent Action via Cross-Viewpoint Reconstruction

Jung Min Lee, Dohyeok Lee, Seokhun Ju +5

Latent actions learned from diverse human videos serve as pseudo-labels for vision-language-action (VLA) pretraining, but provide effective supervision only if they remain informat…
