Seeing Space and Motion: Enhancing Latent Actions with Geometric and Dynamic Awareness for Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2509.26251v2 Announce Type: replace Latent Action Models (LAMs) enable Vision- Language-Action (VLA) systems to learn semantic action representations from large-scale unannotated data. Yet, we identify two bottlenecks of LAMs: 1) the commonly adopted end-to-end trained image encoder suffers from poor spatial understanding; 2) LAMs can be fragile when input frames are temporally distant, leading to limited temporal percep- tion. Such factors inevitably hinder stable and clear action modeling.
