A Watermark for Vision-Language-Action and World Action Models

- 用噪声种子替换实现指纹嵌入,输出与正常无异。
- 通过梯度优化恢复种子,准确验证模型归属。
- 抗删除和修改攻击,适合保护机器人算法产权。
视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型和世界动作模型(WAM)是当前通用机器人控制的核心生成模型,可直接将摄像头输入转化为运动指令。这类模型常以黑箱服务形式部署,模型拥有者保留权重隐私。由于训练依赖专有数据和大量算力,部署模型本身具有高价值知识产权。为此,我们提出“带密钥的潜在溯源验证”方法,通过在生成前替换高斯噪声向量的随机种子来嵌入指纹。注入阶段,所有者用带有密钥的同分布种子替代原始种子,使指纹化动作在统计上与普通运行完全一致,外部观察者无法察觉或移除信号。验证阶段,所有者在授权环境下运行可疑模型,记录机器人执行的动作通道(部分且可能经后处理),再通过基于梯度的最大后验(MAP)优化反推种子,测试其是否匹配秘密密钥,汇总得分判定模型归属。我们在两个代表性模型和两套机器人平台中评估该方法,涵盖指纹检测、多密钥识别、多种攻击下的鲁棒性以及设计有效性分析。实验表明,指纹可可靠检测,任务性能几乎不变,且对输出端移除攻击和权重级修改均保持可检测性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vision-language-action (VLA) models and world-action models (WAM) are the generative models now driving general-purpose robot control, turning raw camera input directly into motor commands. They are increasingly deployed as black-box services, where a partner runs the policy through an interface while the owner keeps the weights private. Training such a model takes proprietary data and heavy computational power, making the deployed model itself a valuable intellectual property. To address this, we propose the \emph{keyed latent-provenance verification} method, which fingerprints the policy through the seed of the Gaussian noise vector that the models draw before generation. At the injection stage, the owner swaps this seed for a keyed one with the same distribution as ordinary noise, so the fingerprinted actions are statistically identical to those of an ordinary run and an adversary watching the output finds no signal to detect or remove. At the verification stage, the owner runs the suspect model under authorized access and records the action channels the robot executes, a partial and possibly post-processed view of the policy's output. From this view, the verifier recovers the seed by gradient-based maximum a posteriori (MAP) optimization, tests it for the secret key to score each rollout, and aggregates these scores into a single decision on whether the suspect model belongs to the owner. We evaluate the method on two representative models across two robot suites. The experiments cover detection of the fingerprint, identification of which of several keys a suspect carries, robustness to a range of attacks, and an analysis of why the design works. Across both models, the fingerprint can be detected reliably with little change to task performance, and it remains detectable under output-side removal attacks and weight-level edits.
