Affordance Field Intervention: Enabling VLAs to Escape Memory Traps in Robotic Manipulation

CVPR 2026

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown great performance in robotic manipulation by mapping visual observations and language instructions directly to actions. However, they remain brittle under distribution shifts: when test scenarios change, VLAs often reproduce memorized trajectories inste

See What Matters: Differentiable Grid Sample Pruning for Generalizable Vision-Language-Action Model

ICML 2026poster

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable promise in robotics manipulation, yet their high computational cost hinders real-time deployment. Existing token pruning methods suffer from a fundamental trade-off: aggressive compression using pruning inevitably discards critical geometric …

VLA-Cache: Efficient Vision-Language-Action Manipulation via Adaptive Token Caching

NeurIPS 2025poster

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong multi-modal reasoning capabilities, enabling direct action generation from visual perception and language instructions in an end-to-end manner. However, their substantial computational cost poses a challenge for real-time robotic control,…

Human-Robot Interactive Creation of Artistic Portrait Drawings

ICRA 2024poster

In this paper, we present a novel system for Human-Robot Interactive Creation of Artworks (HRICA). Different from previous robot painters, HRICA allows a human user and a robot to alternately draw strokes on a canvas, to collaboratively create a portrait drawing through frequent interactions. The ke…
