让视觉语言模型的意图变成机器人精准动作,还能跨任务复用。
GAE: Unleashing Physical Potential of VLM with Generalizable Action Expert
- 用稀疏3D关键点表达高层意图,再由GAE转为连续动作轨迹。
- 在15万条仿真与真实机器人轨迹上预训练,支持多场景泛化。
- 只需微调视觉语言模型,即可快速适配新任务,效率高。
视觉语言模型具备强大的推理与规划能力,但将其预测结果转化为精确机器人动作仍是核心挑战。现有视觉-语言-动作方法通常将推理与动作生成耦合,导致泛化能力有限。本文提出通用动作专家(GAE),一种任务无关模型,可将稀疏几何规划转换为密集机器人动作。该方法引入稀疏几何接口:视觉语言模型预测代表高层意图的稀疏3D关键点,GAE则结合实时点云观测,将这些关键点映射为连续动作轨迹。GAE在包含15万条轨迹的大规模点云-轨迹数据集上进行预训练,涵盖仿真与真实机器人数据。为进一步提升效率与泛化性,提出动作预训练-点云微调(APPF)策略,解耦动作动力学学习与几何定位。预训练后GAE固定不动,可复用于下游任务,仅需对视觉语言模型进行轻量级微调以生成稀疏接口。实验表明,该方法在多样视觉域、相机视角和自然语言指令下均表现优异且具有良好泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vision-language models demonstrate strong reasoning and planning abilities, yet grounding these predictions into precise robot actions remains a central challenge. Existing Vision-Language-Action methods typically entangle reasoning and action generation, leading to limited generalization. We propose Generalizable Action Expert (GAE), a task-agnostic model that converts sparse geometric plans into dense robot actions. Our approach introduces a sparse geometric interface: the VLM predicts sparse 3D waypoints representing high-level intention, while GAE maps these waypoints together with real-time point cloud observations to continuous action trajectories. GAE is pretrained on a large-scale pointcloud-trajectory dataset comprising 150k trajectories from both simulation and real-world robots. To further improve efficiency and generalization, we introduce an Action Pre-training, Pointcloud Fine-tuning (APPF) scheme that decouples learning action dynamics from geometry grounding. After pretraining, GAE is frozen and reused across downstream tasks, requiring only lightweight fine-tuning of the VLM to produce the sparse interface. Experiments show that our method achieves strong performance and generalization across diverse visual domains, camera viewpoints, and natural language instructions.
