让视觉语言动作模型根据环境动态调整剪枝,提升推理速度且几乎不损失成功率。

Environment-Aware Adaptive Pruning with Interleaved Inference Orchestration for Vision-Language-Action Models

  • 基于环境变化自适应调整通道剪枝,无需重新训练。
  • 实测提速最高达2.18倍,成功率下降不足0.5%。
  • 适合需要实时响应的机器人系统部署使用。

尽管视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在具身智能中具有潜力,但其庞大的参数量导致推理延迟高,阻碍实时操作。现有静态剪枝无法适应环境动态变化,而固定周期的动态层剪枝则存在粒度粗和重训练开销大的问题。为此,本文提出EcoVLA——一种无需训练、可即插即用的自适应剪枝框架,支持与现有VLA加速方法正交组合。EcoVLA由两部分组成:环境感知自适应剪枝(EAP)与交错推理调度($I^2O$)。EAP是一种轻量级自适应通道剪枝方法,利用物理环境的时间一致性更新稀疏模式;$I^2O$利用VLA推理中的计算空档并行调度剪枝策略,几乎不影响延迟。在多个VLA模型和基准测试上评估显示,EcoVLA达到业界最优性能,单用时最高提速1.60倍,成功率仅下降0.4%;结合令牌剪枝后更实现2.18倍提速,成功率下降仅0.5%。进一步在真实机器人上验证了其有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models hold promise in embodied intelligence, their large parameter counts lead to substantial inference latency that hinders real-time manipulation, motivating parameter sparsification. However, as the environment evolves during VLA execution, the optimal sparsity patterns change accordingly. Static pruning lacks the adaptability required for environment dynamics, whereas fixed-interval dynamic layer pruning suffers from coarse granularity and high retraining overheads. To bridge this gap, we propose EcoVLA, a training-free, plug-and-play adaptive pruning framework that supports orthogonal combination with existing VLA acceleration methods. EcoVLA comprises two components: Environment-aware Adaptive Pruning (EAP) and Interleaved Inference Orchestration ($I^2O$). EAP is a lightweight adaptive channel pruning method that incorporates the temporal consistency of the physical environment to update sparsity patterns. $I^2O$ leverages the FLOPs bubbles inherent in VLA inference to schedule the pruning method in parallel, ensuring negligible impact on latency. Evaluated on diverse VLA models and benchmarks, EcoVLA delivers state-of-the-art performance, achieving up to 1.60$\times$ speedup with only a 0.4% drop in success rate, and further reaches 2.18$\times$ speedup with only a 0.5% degradation when combined with token pruning. We further validate the effectiveness of EcoVLA on real-world robots.
