Cross-View Action Consistency for Camera-Robust Vision-Language-Action Policies

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) models have shown strong performance on embodied manipulation, yet they remain brittle under visual observation changes, paraphrased language instructions, and compounded perturbations. This limitation suggests that existing methods still rely heavily on shallow correlations in the training distribution, rather than learning stable couplings among task semantics, environment states, and action generation. Although recent efforts improve robustness through larger-scale training, post-training adaptation, or enhanced predictive modeling, they rarely enforce invariance-oriented consistency within the end-to-end policy itself. To address this issue, we propose RoVLA, a robust vision-language-action framework with multi-consistency constraints. RoVLA enforces consistency under three complementary transformations: instruction semantics, trajectory evolution, and observation perturbation. Specifically, Instructional Consistency (IC) promotes stable grounding under semantically equivalent instruction rewrites, Evolutionary Consistency (EC) preserves coherent action intent throughout the generation process, and Observational Consistency (OC) improves robustness to visual and proprioceptive perturbations by enforcing consistent predictions before and after targeted disturbances. By explicitly modeling these invariances during training, RoVLA reduces reliance on superficial correlations and improves robustness and generalization. Experiments on LIBERO-Plus, RoboTwin 2.0, and real-world manipulation tasks show that RoVLA consistently outperforms strong baseline methods and exhibits superior robustness under diverse task and observation shifts. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of multi-consistency learning for robust embodied control. Codes will be available at https://github.com/HCPLab-SYSU/RoVLA.

We introduce \textbf{LaMP}, a dual-expert Vision-Language-Action framework that embeds dense 3D scene flow as a latent motion prior for robotic manipulation.Existing VLA models regress actions directly from 2D semantic visual features, forcing them to learn complex 3D physical interactions implicitly.This implicit learning strategy degrades under unfamiliar spatial dynamics.LaMP addresses this limitation by aligning a flow-matching \emph{Motion Expert} with a policy-predicting \emph{Action Expert} through gated cross-attention.Specifically, the Motion Expert generates a one-step partially denoised 3D scene flow, and its hidden states condition the Action Expert without full multi-step reconstruction.We evaluate LaMP on the LIBERO, LIBERO-Plus, and SimplerEnv-WidowX simulation benchmarks as well as real-world experiments.LaMP consistently outperforms evaluated VLA baselines across LIBERO, LIBERO-Plus, and SimplerEnv-WidowX benchmarks, achieving the highest reported average success rates under the same training budgets. On LIBERO-Plus OOD perturbations, LaMP shows improved robustness with an average 9.7% gain over the strongest prior baseline.Our project page is available at https://summerwxk.github.io/lamp-project-page/.
