视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在机器人操作中前景广阔,但实际部署仍受高推理延迟和异步执行不稳定制约。这一问题在基于流匹配的VLA模型中尤为突出,其动作解码需依赖视觉语言模型上下文进行多步迭代。尽管高效推理方法提升了控制频率,异步方法减少了空闲时间,现有方案难以同时实现低延迟与准确的时序一致性执行。我们提出 extbf{FlashVLA},一种统一框架的流式动作解码方法。FlashVLA维护一个包含多个不同噪声水平动作块的流式缓冲区,并使用分块因果注意力进行解码,使得每个推理步骤即可生成一个可执行的动作块。其分块自回归结构隐式保持动作连续性,无需额外未来状态条件即可实现平滑异步执行。在大量仿真和真实世界实验中,FlashVLA显著提升推理速度,同时保持强任务性能,在单张GPU上实现≥30赫兹的控制频率,支持真实场景下流畅的异步推理。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are increasingly promising for robotic manipulation, yet their real-world deployment remains bottlenecked by high inference latency and unstable asynchronous execution. This challenge is particularly pronounced in flow-matching-based VLA models, where action decoding requires multiple iterative steps conditioned on the VLM context. While efficient inference methods improve control frequency and asynchronous methods reduce execution idle time, existing approaches often fail to jointly achieve low-latency inference and accurate, temporally consistent asynchronous execution. We introduce \textbf{FlashVLA}, a streaming action decoding framework that addresses both challenges in a unified formulation. FlashVLA maintains a streaming action buffer with multiple chunks at different noise levels and decodes them using chunk-wise causal attention. This design allows FlashVLA to produce one executable action chunk per inference step. Moreover, its chunk-wise autoregressive formulation implicitly preserves action continuity, enabling smooth asynchronous execution without extra future-state conditioning. Across extensive simulated and real-world experiments, FlashVLA substantially improves inference speed while maintaining strong task performance. It can achieve $\geq$30\,Hz control frequency on a single GPU with smooth asynchronous inference in real-world deployment.
