AtomVLA: Scalable Post-Training for Robotic Manipulation via Predictive Latent World Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models demonstrate remarkable potential for generalizable robotic manipulation. The execution of complex multi-step behaviors in VLA models can be improved by robust instruction grounding, a critical component for effective control. However, current paradigms predominantly rely on coarse, high-level task instructions during supervised fine-tuning. This instruction grounding gap leaves models without explicit intermediate guidance, leading to severe compounding errors in long-horizon tasks. Therefore, bridging this instruction gap and providing scalable post-training for VLA models is urgent. To tackle this problem, we propose \method, the first subtask-aware VLA framework integrated with a scalable offline post-training pipeline. Our framework leverages a large language model to decompose high-level demonstrations into fine-grained atomic subtasks. This approach utilizes a pretrained predictive world model to score candidate action chunks against subtask goals in the latent space, mitigating error accumulation while significantly improving long-horizon robustness. Furthermore, this approach enables highly efficient Group Relative Policy Optimization without the prohibitive expenses associated with online rollouts on physical robots. Extensive simulations validate that our AtomVLA maintains strong robustness under perturbations. When evaluated against fundamental baseline models, it achieves an average success rate of 97.0\% on the LIBERO benchmark and 48.0\% on the LIBERO-PRO benchmark. Finally, experiments conducted in the real world using the Galaxea R1 Lite platform confirm its broad applicability across diverse tasks, especially long-horizon tasks. All datasets, checkpoints, and code will be released to the public domain following the acceptance of this work for future research.

RoboTidy : A 3D Gaussian Splatting Household Tidying Benchmark for Embodied Navigation and Action

Household tidying is an important application area, yet current benchmarks neither model user preferences nor support mobility, and they generalize poorly, making it hard to comprehensively assess integrated language-to-action capabilities. To address this, we propose RoboTidy, a unified benchmark for language-guided household tidying that supports Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and Vision-Language-Navigation (VLN) training and evaluation. RoboTidy provides 500 photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) household scenes (covering 500 objects and containers) with collisions, formulates tidying as an "Action (Object, Container)" list, and supplies 6.4k high-quality manipulation demonstration trajectories and 1.5k naviagtion trajectories to support both few-shot and large-scale training. We also deploy RoboTidy in the real world for object tidying, establishing an end-to-end benchmark for household tidying. RoboTidy offers a scalable platform and bridges a key gap in embodied AI by enabling holistic and realistic evaluation of language-guided robots.
