arXiv:2606.27872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong capabilities in robotic manipulation, but their performance degrades significantly in long-horizon tasks due to cumulative error propagation. This limitation largely arises from static feature fusion mechanisms that rely on fixed weights to combine visual, language, and action representations, preventing the model from adapting to different phases of task execution. To address this limitation, we propose S$^2$-VLA, a framework that introduces a State-Space Guided Adaptive Attention (S
The continuous improvement in VLA models highlights the persistent challenge of cumulative error in long-horizon robotic tasks, leading researchers to explore adaptive solutions.
Improving long-horizon robotic manipulation is critical for real-world deployment of advanced AI in industries like logistics, manufacturing, and domestic robotics, pushing beyond current limitations.
The proposed S$^2$-VLA framework introduces state-space guided adaptive attention, allowing VLA models to dynamically adjust feature fusion based on task phase, potentially overcoming a significant bottleneck in robotic autonomy.
