用内在平滑性优化让机器人动作更稳定流畅。

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for robotic manipulation. However, existing post-training methods face a dilemma between stability and exploration: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is constrained by demonstration quality and lacks generalization, whereas Reinforcement Learning (RL) improves exploration but often induces erratic, jittery trajectories that violate physical constraints. To bridge this gap, we propose SmoothVLA, a novel reinforcement learning fine-tuning framework that synergistically optimizes task performance and motion smoothness. The technical core is a physics-informed hybrid reward function that integrates binary sparse task rewards with a continuous dense term derived from trajectory jerk. Crucially, this reward is intrinsic, that computing directly from policy rollouts, without requiring extrinsic environment feedback or laborious reward engineering. Leveraging the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), SmoothVLA establishes trajectory smoothness as an explicit optimization prior, guiding the model toward physically feasible and stable control. Extensive experiments on the LIBERO benchmark demonstrate that SmoothVLA outperforms standard RL by 13.8\% in smoothness and significantly surpasses SFT in generalization across diverse tasks. Our work offers a scalable approach to aligning VLA models with physical-world constraints through intrinsic reward optimization.
