A1: A Fully Transparent Open-Source, Adaptive and Efficient Truncated Vision-Language-Action Model
Kaidong Zhang, Jian Zhang, Rongtao Xu +20
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for open-world robot manipulation, but their practical deployment is often constrained by cost: billion-scal…

A0: An Affordance-Aware Hierarchical Model for General Robotic Manipulation
Rongtao Xu, Jian Zhang, Minghao Guo +11
Robotic manipulation faces critical challenges in understanding spatial affordances--the "where" and "how" of object interactions--essential for complex manipulation tasks like wip…

GLaD: Geometric Latent Distillation for Vision-Language-Action Models
Minghao Guo, Meng Cao, Jiachen Tao +5
Most existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models rely primarily on RGB information, while ignoring geometric cues crucial for spatial reasoning and manipulation. In this work, we…
