Exploring the Limits of Combinatorial Generalization in Embodied Manipulation

In embodied manipulation, Vision Language Action (VLA) models can execute atomic skills, but long-horizon manipulation requires recombining these skills without demonstrations for every skill combination. The full instruction route treats skill chaining as long-horizon imitation. In a controlled study, full instruction...

Towards Long-horizon Embodied Agents with Tool-Aligned Vision-Language-Action Models

This work introduces a VLA tool-family interface that exposes explicit tool selection and in-execution progress feedback, enabling efficient event-triggered agent replanning without continuous agent polling and proposes Tool-Aligned Post-Training (TAPT), which constructs invocation-aligned training units for instructio...

RoboFollow: Unveiling the Instruction Following Mirage in Embodied Agents

This work introduces RoboFollow, a diagnostic benchmark with three principles, which exposes genuine instruction following as a critical, overlooked bottleneck in embodied agents' ability to follow instructions.

Grounded Semantic Re-Binding for Robust Instruction Generalization in Vision-Language-Action Models

This work demonstrates that robust semantic grounding can be achieved through elegant structural design, bypassing the inefficient brute-force data scaling paradigm and introduces ParaVLA, a natively decoupled 0.33B-parameter model exhibiting near-perfect robustness to instruction rewording.
