See Less, Specify More: Visual Evidence Budgets for Generalizable VLAs
Summary
arXiv:2606.02735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalization remains a central bottleneck for vision-language-action (VLA) models: under distractors, appearance shifts, and semantically similar tasks, the policy must often infer local execution details from coarse instructions while also deciding which parts of the image matter for control. We present S2 (See Less, Specify More), a framework for improving VLA generalization by training the executor under a cleaner interface. Specify More preserves the original instruction as a stable high-level goal while relabeling each trajectory into refined trajectory- and subtask-level language that disambiguates the current execution mode.
Why It Matters
This Robotics development accelerates factory automation and intensifies competition among Asian robotics makers. For Asia, it is a signal worth tracking: it shapes who supplies, who scales, and who sets the standard over the next five years.
