Contrastive Representation Regularization for Vision-Language-Action Models

ICML 2026poster

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong capabilities in robot manipulation by leveraging rich representations from pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs). However, their representations arguably remain suboptimal, lacking sensitivity to robotic signals such as control actions and pr…

DEAS: DEtached value learning with Action Sequence for Scalable Offline RL

ICLR 2026poster

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) presents an attractive paradigm for training intelligent agents without expensive online interactions. However, current approaches still struggle with complex, long-horizon sequential decision making. In this work, we introduce DEtached value learning with Action…

HAMLET: Switch Your Vision-Language-Action Model into a History-Aware Policy

ICLR 2026poster

Inherently, robotic manipulation tasks are history-dependent: leveraging past context could be beneficial. However, most existing Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have been designed without considering this aspect, i.e., they rely solely on the current observation, ignoring preceding context. In…

Learning Multi-View Spatial Reasoning from Cross-View Relations

CVPR 2026

Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved impressive results on single-view vision tasks, but lack the multi-view spatial reasoning capabilities essential for embodied AI systems to understand 3D environments and manipulate objects across different viewpoints. In this work, we introduce Cross-View

Pretrained Vision-Language-Action Models are Surprisingly Resistant to Forgetting in Continual Learning

ICML 2026oral

Continual learning is a long-standing challenge in robot policy learning, where a policy must acquire new skills over time without catastrophically forgetting previously learned ones. While prior work has extensively studied continual learning in relatively small behavior cloning (BC) policy models …

Verifier-free Test-Time Sampling for Vision Language Action Models

ICLR 2026poster

Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in robot control. However, they remain fundamentally limited in tasks that require high precision due to their single-inference paradigm. While test-time scaling approaches using external verifiers have shown promise, they…

Subtask-Aware Visual Reward Learning from Segmented Demonstrations

ICLR 2025poster

Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents have demonstrated their potential across various robotic tasks. However, they still heavily rely on human-engineered reward functions, requiring extensive trial-and-error and access to target behavior information, often unavailable in real-world settings. This pape…

Guide Your Agent with Adaptive Multimodal Rewards

NeurIPS 2023poster

Developing an agent capable of adapting to unseen environments remains a difficult challenge in imitation learning. This work presents Adaptive Return-conditioned Policy (ARP), an efficient framework designed to enhance the agent's generalization ability using natural language task descriptions and…

Preference Transformer: Modeling Human Preferences using Transformers for RL

ICLR 2023poster

Preference-based reinforcement learning (RL) provides a framework to train agents using human preferences between two behaviors. However, preference-based RL has been challenging to scale since it requires a large amount of human feedback to learn a reward function aligned with human intent. In this…
