Generative action models based on diffusion and flow matching have been increasingly adopted in vision-language-action (VLA) policies for their ability to capture diverse behaviors, including multiple valid action sequences under the same observation and instruction. Their iterative sampling procedures, however, requir …
Scaling robot data and model capacity has improved Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies, but further progress is constrained by the high cost of robotic data. Verifier-guided test-time scaling offers an efficient alternative by sampling multiple action candidates and selecting the one most likely to lead to task succe …
Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide broad, instruction-conditioned manipulation behaviors, but their physical execution can remain imprecise during contact-rich interaction. Residual reinforcement learning (RL) can correct such errors while keeping the VLA frozen, but real-robot RL is costly and safety-critical …
