#Vision-Language-Action

Chain of World: World Model Thinking in Latent Motion

Intermediate

Fuxiang Yang, Donglin Di et al.Mar 3arXiv

Robots learn better when they think about how things move over time, not by redrawing every pixel of a video.

World Guidance: World Modeling in Condition Space for Action Generation

Intermediate

Yue Su, Sijin Chen et al.Feb 25arXiv

WoG (World Guidance) teaches a robot to imagine just the right bits of the near future and use those bits to pick better actions.

QuantVLA: Scale-Calibrated Post-Training Quantization for Vision-Language-Action Models

Intermediate

Jingxuan Zhang, Yunta Hsieh et al.Feb 23arXiv

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) robots are powerful but too big and slow for many real-world devices.

VLANeXt: Recipes for Building Strong VLA Models

Intermediate

Xiao-Ming Wu, Bin Fan et al.Feb 20arXiv

This paper studies Vision–Language–Action (VLA) robots under one fair setup to find which design choices truly matter.

GigaBrain-0.5M*: a VLA That Learns From World Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

Intermediate

GigaBrain Team, Boyuan Wang et al.Feb 12arXiv

GigaBrain-0.5M* is a robot brain that sees, reads, and acts, and it gets smarter by imagining the future before moving.

RISE: Self-Improving Robot Policy with Compositional World Model

Intermediate

Jiazhi Yang, Kunyang Lin et al.Feb 11arXiv

RISE lets a robot learn safely and cheaply by practicing in its imagination instead of always in the real world.

Recurrent-Depth VLA: Implicit Test-Time Compute Scaling of Vision-Language-Action Models via Latent Iterative Reasoning

Intermediate

Yalcin Tur, Jalal Naghiyev et al.Feb 8arXiv

Robots often use the same amount of thinking for easy and hard moves, which wastes time on easy steps and isn’t enough for tricky ones.

Green-VLA: Staged Vision-Language-Action Model for Generalist Robots

Intermediate

I. Apanasevich, M. Artemyev et al.Jan 31arXiv

Green-VLA is a step-by-step training recipe that teaches one model to see, understand language, and move many kinds of robots safely and efficiently.

DynamicVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model for Dynamic Object Manipulation

Intermediate

Haozhe Xie, Beichen Wen et al.Jan 29arXiv

DynamicVLA is a small and fast robot brain that sees, reads, and acts while things are moving.

IVRA: Improving Visual-Token Relations for Robot Action Policy with Training-Free Hint-Based Guidance

Beginner

Jongwoo Park, Kanchana Ranasinghe et al.Jan 22arXiv

IVRA is a simple, training-free add-on that helps robot brains keep the 2D shape of pictures while following language instructions.

LangForce: Bayesian Decomposition of Vision Language Action Models via Latent Action Queries

Intermediate

Shijie Lian, Bin Yu et al.Jan 21arXiv

Robots often learn a bad habit called the vision shortcut: they guess the task just by looking, and ignore the words you tell them.

TwinBrainVLA: Unleashing the Potential of Generalist VLMs for Embodied Tasks via Asymmetric Mixture-of-Transformers

Intermediate

Bin Yu, Shijie Lian et al.Jan 20arXiv

TwinBrainVLA is a robot brain with two halves: a frozen generalist that keeps world knowledge safe and a trainable specialist that learns to move precisely.
