Harness VLA: Steering Frozen VLAs into Reliable Manipulation Primitives via Memory-Guided Agents

Yixian Zhang, Huanming Zhang, Feng Gao, Xiao Li, Zhihao Liu, Chunyang Zhu, et al.

Language-conditioned manipulation requires both precise contact-rich control and robust reasoning over language, scenes, and long horizons. End-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide strong local visuomotor skills, but they are trained on in-distribution task trajecto…

STEAM: Self-Supervised Temporal Ensemble Advantage Modeling for Real-World Robot Learning

Zhihao Liu, Qiuyi Gu, Yitao Wang, Dongming Qiao, Yixian Zhang, Shuaihang Chen, et al.

Real-world robot learning increasingly relies on heterogeneous data, but demonstrations and rollouts often mix useful progress with stalls, corrections, and suboptimal behavior. Effective policy learning therefore requires frame-level advantages that distinguish reliable local pr…
