ACE: Agentic Control for Embodied Manipulation via Zero-shot Workflow Reasoning

While standard end-to-end baselines struggle to complete these logically demanding tasks, ACE achieves a 50% success rate in equation formation and a 70% success rate in constraint retrieval, demonstrating that explicit workflow reasoning and mask-mediated control offer a robust, practical route toward adaptable robotic manipulation.

Teaching Tiny VLA Models Where to Look and How to Move

XS-VLA is introduced, a lightweight framework that teaches tiny VLA policies "where to look" and "how to move" without increasing deployment-time model cost and shows that explicit spatial grounding and latent action-structure learning can make tiny VLA models effective for robotic manipulation.
