HAMLET: Switch your Vision-Language-Action Model into a History-Aware Policy

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2510.00695v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Inherently, robotic manipulation tasks are history-dependent: leveraging past context could be beneficial. However, most existing Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have been designed without considering this aspect, i.e., they rely solely on the current observation, ignoring preceding context. In this paper, we propose HAMLET, a scalable framework to adapt VLAs to attend to the historical context during action prediction. Specifically, we
