VLDA: Modeling Compact Actionable Deltas for Robotic Manipulation
October 18, 2026
Vision-Language-Delta-Action (VLDA) replaces full future state prediction with compact delta modeling of latent world-state changes. This reduces the learning burden by focusing model capacity on task-relevant transitions rather than static visual appearance.
