Reducing Temporal Redundancy for Efficient Vision-Language-Action Inference
Yuzhou Wu, Yuxin Zheng, Muchun Niu, Yishan Yang, Tianhao Liu, hanwen kang, et al.
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models exhibit strong generalization for robotic manipulation, yet their high inference latency limits real time deployment. We identify two primary sources of temporal redundancy in existing VLA pipelines: repeated visual encoding of highly similar c…
