🚀 Overview

Successful generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models rely on effective training across diverse robotic platforms with large-scale, cross-embodiment, heterogeneous datasets. To facilitate and leverage the heterogeneity in rich robotic data sources, X-VLA introduces a Soft Prompt approach with minimally added parameters: we infuse prompt-learning concepts into cross-embodiment robot learning, introducing separate sets of learnable embeddings for each distinct embodiment.

These embodiment-specific prompts empower VLA models to exploit cross-embodiment features effectively. Our architecture—a clean, flow-matching-based VLA design relying exclusively on soft-prompted standard Transformers—achieves superior scalability and simplicity.

Trained on Bridge Data and evaluated across six simulations and three real-world robots, the 0.9B-parameter X-VLA simultaneously achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse benchmarks, demonstrating flexible dexterity and fast adaptation across embodiments, environments, and tasks.
