Differential Amplifier-Inspired AmpAttention for Multi-View Robotic Manipulation

Authors: Jin YangPing WeiNanning Zheng

Abstract

Multi-view robotic manipulation methods with the attention mechanism have recently achieved significant progress in both training efficiency and task performance. However, the inherent redundancy, occlusion, and viewpoint dependency in robotic view images often lead to severe attention drift. To address this challenge, we propose AmpAttention, a novel attention mechanism inspired by differential amplifiers in analog circuits. It aims to suppress attention noise and capture high signal-to-noise ratio signals for more reliable perception. Based on this, we introduce the RVAF model, which integrates task-guided intra-view and inter-view AmpAttention. Compared to previous state-of-the-art methods, RVAF achieves the optimal average success rate across 18 RLBench tasks (249 variations) while reducing training time by 33.3%. RVAF also demonstrates strong potential in real-world high-precision tasks, exemplified by its ability to pick up a dart and accurately insert it into the red bullseye. Furthermore, we extend RVAF to RVAF++ by incorporating the SAM2 image encoder. RVAF++ achieves substantial gains on high-precision tasks, achieving a 91% success rate on the `insert peg' task.

Learning Action Manifold with Multi-view Latent Priors for Robotic Manipulation

This paper tackles spatial perception and manipulation challenges in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. To address depth ambiguity from monocular input, we leverage a pre-trained multi-view diffusion model to synthesize latent novel views and propose a Geometry-Guided Gated Transformer (G3T) that aligns multi-view features under 3D geometric guidance while adaptively filtering occlusion noise. To improve action learning efficiency, we introduce Action Manifold Learning (AML), which directly predicts actions on the valid action manifold, bypassing inefficient regression of unstructured targets like noise or velocity. Experiments on LIBERO, RoboTwin 2.0, and real-robot tasks show our method achieves superior success rate and robustness over SOTA baselines.

VADF: Vision-Adaptive Diffusion Policy Framework for Efficient Robotic Manipulation

Diffusion policies are becoming mainstream in robotic manipulation but suffer from hard negative class imbalance due to uniform sampling and lack of sample difficulty awareness, leading to slow training convergence and frequent inference timeout failures. We propose VADF (Vision-Adaptive Diffusion Policy Framework), a vision-driven dual-adaptive framework that significantly reduces convergence steps and achieves early success in inference, with model-agnostic design enabling seamless integration into any diffusion policy architecture. During training, we introduce Adaptive Loss Network (ALN), a lightweight MLP-based loss predictor that quantifies per-step sample difficulty in real time. Guided by hard negative mining, it performs weighted sampling to prioritize high-loss regions, enabling adaptive weight updates and faster convergence. In inference, we design the Hierarchical Vision Task Segmenter (HVTS), which decomposes high-level task instructions into multi-stage low-level sub-instructions based on visual input. It adaptively segments action sequences into simple and complex subtasks by assigning shorter noise schedules with longer direct execution sequences to simple actions, and longer noise steps with shorter execution sequences to complex ones, thereby dramatically reducing computational overhead and significantly improving the early success rate.

VistaBot: View-Robust Robot Manipulation via Spatiotemporal-Aware View Synthesis

Recently, end-to-end robotic manipulation models have gained significant attention for their generalizability and scalability. However, they often suffer from limited robustness to camera viewpoint changes when training with a fixed camera. In this paper, we propose VistaBot, a novel framework that integrates feed-forward geometric models with video diffusion models to achieve view-robust closed-loop manipulation without requiring camera calibration at test time. Our approach consists of three key components: 4D geometry estimation, view synthesis latent extraction, and latent action learning. VistaBot is integrated into both action-chunking (ACT) and diffusion-based (π0π_0) policies and evaluated across simulation and real-world tasks. We further introduce the View Generalization Score (VGS) as a new metric for comprehensive evaluation of cross-view generalization. Results show that VistaBot improves VGS by 2.79×\times and 2.63×\times over ACT and π0π_0, respectively, while also achieving high-quality novel view synthesis. Our contributions include a geometry-aware synthesis model, a latent action planner, a new benchmark metric, and extensive validation across diverse environments. The code and models will be made publicly available.
