arXiv:2605.28231v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present ProgVLA, a compact vision-language-action (VLA) model designed for reliable robot manipulation under tight compute and memory budgets. The model specifically focuses on efficiently processing long multi-modal sequences by maintaining an explicit representation of task progress over extended horizons. To this end, ProgVLA integrates two key components. First, a multi-modal encoder with a two-stage Perceiver resampling scheme compresses variable-length visual, language, and proprioceptive streams into a fixed set of control-ready conte
The continuous development in AI and robotics, coupled with the increasing demand for autonomous systems, drives innovation in efficient robot manipulation models. Advances in multi-modal learning are enabling more robust solutions.
This development represents a step towards more efficient and reliable robot manipulation, crucial for widespread adoption of robotics in various industries, especially those with tight resource constraints.
Robot manipulation models can now potentially operate more effectively with limited compute and memory, expanding the practical application range of autonomous robotic systems.
