WARP-VLA: Wrist-Camera Adaptation for View-Robust Policy Execution in Vision-Language-Action Models

To address this, we propose WARP-VLA, a camera-view robust VLA for diverse wrist camera configurations.

Key points

  • Despite recent advances in Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) for robotic manipulation, their performance remains sensitive to changes in camera configuration.
  • Unlike fixed external views, wrist views are more challenging because the camera moves with the robot, causing even small mounting variations to alter fine-grained geometric cues.
  • WARP-VLA adopts a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture where individual experts learn view-specific feature transformations, and a router combines them based on implicit view information.
  • To facilitate reproducibility and future research, we release our wrist viewpoint robustness benchmark and a plug-and-play implementation.
