REKI: Registering Knowledge in VLAs

Juliette Marrie, Paul Pacaud, Adrien Ramanana Rahary +2

We introduce REKI, a 2.4B vision-language-action model (VLA) pretrained exclusively on public data that sets a new Pareto frontier between performance and model size: on LIBERO-Plu…

PointACT: Vision-Language-Action Models with Multi-Scale Point-Action Interaction

Shizhe Chen, Paul Pacaud, Cordelia Schmid

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong potential for general-purpose robotic manipulation by leveraging large pretrained vision-language backbones. However, most exi…

Guardian: Detecting Robotic Planning and Execution Errors with Vision-Language Models

Paul Pacaud, Ricardo Garcia, Shizhe Chen +1

Robust robotic manipulation requires reliable failure detection and recovery. Although recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show promise in robot failure detection, their generaliz…

Gondola: Grounded Vision Language Planning for Robotic Manipulation

Shizhe Chen, Ricardo Garcia, Paul Pacaud +1

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown promising progress in robotic manipulation. However, directly mapping visual observations and language instructions to low-level acti…
