On the Efficiency of LoRA Fine-Tuning for Vision-Language-Action Models in Industrial Robotic Manipulation
Robotics & Manufacturing
Summary
arXiv:2607.10172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying billion-parameter Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models on industrial hardware requires fine-tuning to bridge the embodiment gap. Full Fine-Tuning (FFT) provides maximal plasticity but requires data centre-grade GPUs. We present a systematic study of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for $\pi_0$, a flow-matching VLA, evaluated on four precision assembly tasks with a UR5e robotic manipulator.
