Domain Arithmetic: One-Shot VLA Adaptation under Environmental Shifts

Taewook Kang, Taeheon Kim, Donghyun Shin, Jonghyun Choi

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models often fail to perform the same learned tasks under environmental shifts, such as changes in camera pose and shifts to a different but similar robot (e.g., from Panda to UR5e). Adapting these models to the shifted environment (i.e., target domain) often requires training on multiple demonstrations for each task, which are costly to collect. To reduce the burden of data curation and training, we propose an analogy-based method that adapts VLA models under environmental shifts through weight vector arithmetic with domain-specific information addition, named Domain ARiThmetic (DART). Unlike prior approaches, DART requires collecting only a single demonstration, enabling efficient adaptation. To accurately isolate domain-specific information for addition, DART performs subspace alignment between singular components in weight vectors to filter out noisy components. In both simulated and real-world experiments, DART outperforms existing VLA adaptation methods in one-shot scenarios across diverse visual and embodiment shifts. Code is available at https://github.com/snumprlab/dart.

Recti-Q: Feature-Space Rectification for Out-of-Distribution-Robust Quantized Perception in Edge Robotics

Hamidreza Yaghoubi Araghi, Parastoo Pilevar, Ming C. Lin

Robotic perception pipelines increasingly rely on large vision backbones deployed on SWaP-constrained edge platforms, making post-training quantization (PTQ) attractive for real-time inference. However, while PTQ often preserves clean in-distribution accuracy, we show that it can…

DexCompose: Reusing Dexterous Policies for Multi-Task Manipulation with a Single Hand

Dihong Huang, Zhenyu Wei, Zhuxiu Xu, Yunchao Yao, Sikai Li, Mingyu Ding

Dexterous manipulation policies can solve individual skills, but composing them to perform multiple tasks with a single hand remains challenging. Adding a new task on top of an existing manipulation skill often imposes conflicting demands on overlapping fingers and contact modes,…

What Do They See? Interpreting Complex Road Scenarios Through the Eyes of Vision-Language-Action Models for Safe and Trustworthy Autonomous Vehicle Learning

Kalpana Panda, Wesley Maia, Vinti Agarwal, Ross Greer

End-to-end autonomous driving models are now able to navigate complex road scenarios, mapping raw sensor observations directly to observed paths for open-loop evaluation and often effective driving in closed-loop evaluation. Yet the internal logic of these safety-critical systems…

Orbis 2: A Hierarchical World Model for Driving

Sudhanshu Mittal, Arian Mousakhan, Silvio Galesso, Karim Farid, Jonannes Dienert, Rajat Sahay, et al.

Current world models operate at a single level of abstraction, with most prioritizing perceptual fidelity while lacking the spatial reasoning and semantic understanding required for real-world downstream tasks. We present a hierarchical driving world model that factorizes future…
