arXiv:2606.21496v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying generalist robotic agents in the real world requires transferable skills. Specifically, a policy trained to clone a behavior from object-specific demonstrations must generalize beyond that object, otherwise data collection requirements become intractable. Recently, fine-tuning of pre-trained billion-parameter Vision-Language Models (VLMs), initially on large-scale robot datasets and then on fewer scenario-specific demonstrations, has emerged as the predominant paradigm for designing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models.
