A multimodal transformer generates and caches interleaved text-image traces to guide closed-loop actions, achieving 92.4% success on LIBERO-Long and 95.5% average on LIBERO.
Being-H0.7 adds future-aware latent reasoning to direct VLA policies via dual-branch alignment on latent queries, matching world-model benefits at VLA efficiency.
CodeGraphVLP uses a semantic-graph state and executable code planner to enable reliable long-horizon non-Markovian robot manipulation, improving task success and lowering latency over standard VLA baselines.
π₀.₇ is a steerable generalist robotic model that uses rich multimodal prompts including language, subgoal images, and performance metadata to achieve out-of-the-box generalization across tasks and robot bodies.
MolmoAct2 is an open VLA model that outperforms baselines like Pi-05 on 7 benchmarks and whose backbone surpasses GPT-5 on 13 embodied-reasoning tasks through new datasets, specialized training, and architecture changes for lower latency.
VLA-ATTC equips VLA models with adaptive test-time compute via an uncertainty clutch and relative action critic, cutting failure rates by over 50% on LIBERO-LONG.
Sentinel-VLA introduces a metacognitive VLA model with a sentinel module for real-time status monitoring, dynamic reasoning, and error recovery, plus a self-evolving continual learning method, raising real-world task success by over 30% versus prior SOTA.
LaST-R1 introduces a RL post-training method called LAPO that optimizes latent Chain-of-Thought reasoning in vision-language-action models, yielding 99.9% success on LIBERO and up to 22.5% real-world gains.
GazeVLA pretrains on large human egocentric datasets to capture gaze-based intention, then finetunes on limited robot data with chain-of-thought reasoning to achieve better robotic manipulation performance than baselines.
Denoising Recursion Models train multi-step noise reversal in looped transformers and outperform the prior Tiny Recursion Model on ARC-AGI.
Sim-and-real co-training for robot policies is driven primarily by balanced cross-domain representation alignment and secondarily by domain-dependent action reweighting.
A1 is a transparent VLA framework achieving state-of-the-art robot manipulation success with up to 72% lower latency via adaptive layer truncation and inter-layer flow matching.
VLA-GSE uses spectral decomposition of the VLA backbone to create generalized and specialized experts, enabling effective robot task adaptation while updating only 2.51% of parameters and achieving 81.2% zero-shot success on LIBERO-Plus.
ReFineVLA adds teacher-generated reasoning steps to VLA training and reports state-of-the-art success rates on SimplerEnv WidowX and Google Robot benchmarks.
CoEnv introduces a compositional environment that integrates real and simulated spaces for multi-agent robotic collaboration, using real-to-sim reconstruction, VLM action synthesis, and validated sim-to-real transfer to achieve high success rates on multi-arm manipulation tasks.
A dual-LLM hierarchical framework for robotic task and motion planning, integrating object detection, achieves 86% success across 24 test scenarios ranging from simple spatial commands to infeasible requests.
