Vision-language-action (VLA) models map visual observations and language instructions to continuous robot actions. This task requires a transition from representations that describe the scene and instruction to representations that support action generation. Many continuous-action VLAs leave this transition implicit an …

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies typically feed dense visual patch tokens into a language-action backbone, preserving scene context but offering no explicit mechanism to regulate how strongly different visual tokens influence policy computation. We introduce DIVA, a Dual-Space Intent-Aware Visual Attenuation modul …

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies can execute many tasks from standard initial states, yet a new instruction may fail after another task has altered the robot's physical state. We study instruction switching, where a new task is issued during or after the execution of a different one. We observe that a target task …
