Rewiring Semantics, Dynamics, and Control: A Simple yet Effective Action-Centric Tri-Stream Transformer
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a prominent framework for complex robotic manipulation, building on the strong semantic understanding of pretrained Vision-Language Models (VLMs).
Key points
- Recent efforts therefore integrate video-generation World Models (WMs) into robot policies through various strategies, using predictive dynamics to facilitate action generation.
- Despite these advances, harnessing semantic understanding and dynamics prediction as complementary guidance for action generation remains challenging.
- In this paper, we introduce $ACT^3$, a simple yet effective Action-Centric Tri-Stream Transformer that fuses semantic and dynamics information into control actions while preserving the distinct roles of context streams.
- Experiments on both simulated and real-world robotic manipulation benchmarks show that the proposed $ACT^3$ yields results superior to its counterparts.
