Multi-View Unified Camera Fields: Geometry-Shaped Action-Facing Representations for RGB-Only Multi-Camera VLA Policies

Occluded tasks remain a bottleneck in robot manipulation. Existing solutions either deploy additional physical cameras requiring training-inference camera parity, or rely on explicit 3D reconstruction with high computational cost. Moreover, both approaches rely on standard agent-view and wrist-view observations, while failing to capture occlusion information and future scene evolution. To this end, we propose UniviewVLA, a unified multiview Vision-Language-Action model with world modeling, which infers multiview scene evolution for action prediction from only standard two-camera observations. We demonstrate that by leveraging generated multiview future views from the world model, UniviewVLA reveals occluded cues and models future scene evolution, improving action prediction and removing the need for extra hardware or explicit reconstruction. Besides, to accelerate inference while preserving prediction accuracy, UniviewVLA develops Motion-Informative Token Compression, which compresses each generated view from 625 to 16 tokens and reduces per-view latency from 6-7s to 0.2-0.3s. UniviewVLA also proposes training-free Action-Entropy View Selection, which dynamically identifies the most action-informative view at different inference stages. Extensive experiments show that UniviewVLA achieves 95.8% on LIBERO and 4.60 on CALVIN ABCD to D, both standard occlusion-free benchmarks. On customized occlusion-focused tasks, it improves success rate from 40.0% to 73.3%, and average real-robot success rate by 33.4 points, demonstrating stronger occlusion-focused performance without sacrificing standard occlusion-free benchmarks.

Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera extrinsics are explicitly provided, making them fragile and hard to use especially when view robustness is critical. We argue that the policy should not be told where the camera is, but rather figure it out by itself. To this end, we introduce Camera-Centric VLA (CamVLA), a new VLA model that decouples manipulation controls from camera geometry by predicting (i) a camera-centric end-effector action expressed in the local camera frame, and (ii) a 6-DoF hand-eye matrix relating cameras to the robot base. A deterministic geometric transformation composes the two predictions into a robot base-frame action. This disentangles how I should move in pose-independent camera-centric action generation from where I am looking from in camera-perspective geometric grounding. The resulting policy is calibration-free, depth-free, and single-view, requiring only a single monocular RGB image as the visual observation and task instruction at deployment. Evaluations in both simulation and real-world robot data show that CamVLA consistently improves success rates across diverse unseen viewpoints.

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies fine-tuned from a fixed scene camera can fail when the camera is moved, even when the task, objects, language, and robot state are unchanged. We study scene-camera viewpoint robustness using only a scene RGB image, language, and proprioception, without camera labels, extrinsics, depth, or point-cloud inputs. The wrist stream is masked throughout to prevent an unperturbed visual shortcut from confounding attribution to scene-camera variation. For flow-based VLAs, we propose to regularize the action-flow velocity field, the quantity directly integrated to generate continuous action chunks. We construct action-equivalent view pairs by resetting original LIBERO demonstrations to the same MuJoCo state and rendering nominal and perturbed scene-camera views. Both views are supervised by flow matching, while a cross-view loss encourages their predicted action-flow velocities to agree at the same sampled flow coordinates. On the LIBERO-Plus camera-perturbation track, our method reaches 87.2$\pm$0.4% (4,797 rollouts per seed across 3 training seeds), +7.4pp over flow-matching-only training on the same paired data (79.8$\pm$0.8%, also 3 seeds) and +12.5pp over naive mixed-camera SFT, while maintaining nominal-camera ID performance (95.0$\pm$0.8%; same-data FM-only: 95.0$\pm$4.3%). A shuffled-pair control collapses to 25.8%, showing that the gain depends on action-equivalent pairing. On a real robot, we evaluate three tabletop tasks with 10 rollouts per task and camera placement; held-out-camera success improves from 53.3% to 74.4% under the same single-scene-RGB inference interface.
