- 用语言信号与视觉信息分离的方法,防止指令被视觉干扰误导
- 在多种操作任务中,面对恶意修改的指令仍保持高成功率
- 适合研究通用机器人控制与人机交互的学者参考
视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在通用机器人控制中表现出色,但对语言扰动极为敏感。我们发现一种关键的‘模态坍缩’现象:强视觉先验压倒稀疏语言信号,导致智能体过度依赖特定指令表述,忽视深层语义意图。为此,我们提出残差语义引导(RSS),一种概率框架,将物理可操作性与语义执行解耦。RSS引入两项理论创新:(1) 蒙特卡洛句法融合,通过大模型驱动的密集分布扩展近似真实语义后验;(2) 残差可操作性引导,一种双流解码机制,通过减去视觉可操作性先验,显式隔离语言的因果影响。理论分析表明,RSS有效最大化动作与意图之间的互信息,同时抑制视觉干扰。在多个操作基准上的实证结果表明,RSS实现了最先进的鲁棒性,在对抗性语言扰动下仍保持高性能。代码已开源:https://github.com/Doo-mon/RSS。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in generalized robotic control; however, they remain notoriously brittle to linguistic perturbations. We identify a critical ``modality collapse'' phenomenon where strong visual priors overwhelm sparse linguistic signals, causing agents to overfit to specific instruction phrasings while ignoring the underlying semantic intent. To address this, we propose Residual Semantic Steering (RSS), a probabilistic framework that disentangles physical affordance from semantic execution. RSS introduces two theoretical innovations: (1) Monte Carlo Syntactic Integration, which approximates the true semantic posterior via dense, LLM-driven distributional expansion, and (2) Residual Affordance Steering, a dual-stream decoding mechanism that explicitly isolates the causal influence of language by subtracting the visual affordance prior. Theoretical analysis suggests that RSS effectively maximizes the mutual information between action and intent while suppressing visual distractors. Empirical results across diverse manipulation benchmarks demonstrate that RSS achieves state-of-the-art robustness, maintaining performance even under adversarial linguistic perturbations. We release our code at https://github.com/Doo-mon/RSS.
