GeomVLA: Unifying Scene, Motion, and Action in 3D
arXiv:2609.13812v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present GeomVLA, a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that unifies perception, latent scene motion prediction, and action generation within a shared robot-centric 3D coordinate frame. Our approach lifts pretrained VLM features into spatially grounded 3D scene tokens using depth and camera calibration, while retaining the semantic representations learned during VLM pretraining.

arXiv:2609.13812v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present GeomVLA, a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that unifies perception, latent scene motion prediction, and action generation within a shared robot-centric 3D coordinate frame. Our approach lifts pretrained VLM features into spatially grounded 3D scene tokens using depth and camera calibration, while retaining the semantic representations learned during VLM pretraining. We further introduce a 3D Scene Trajectory Denoiser, a task-conditioned module that learns a latent representation of how scene points are expected to move in 3D. Rather than executing the predicted trajectory as an open-loop plan, GeomVLA extracts intermediate motion tokens from the trajectory denoiser and uses them to condition a 3D flow-based action denoiser through geometry-aware attention. GeomVLA achieves state-of-the-art performance on CALVIN, competitive performance on LIBERO and RoboTwin2.0, and outperforms strong baselines in real-world manipulation settings without robot-action pretraining. Extensive ablations show that future-motion reasoning alone is insufficient: the primary gains are associated with maintaining geometric consistency among scene representation, motion prediction, and robot actions throughout the perception-to-action pipeline.
