Fast Enough to Act: Spatio-Temporal Visual Token Merging for Low-Latency Robotic VLMs and VLAs
Junzhou Chen, Jindong Wang, Gang Zhou
Vision-language models and vision-language action models endow the robot with unprecedented capabilities. However, the input of video and high-resolution images yields a massive number of visual tokens, leading to extremely high inference latency and severely hindering the robot'…
