GazeVLA: Learning Human Intention for Robotic Manipulation

GazeVLA: Learning Human Intention for Robotic Manipulation

Summary

This paper introduces GazeVLA, a framework that leverages human gaze cues to model intentions for robotic manipulation. By capturing the synergy between high-level task semantics and low-level actions encoded in gaze, the method derives mid-level representations that facilitate cross-embodiment knowledge transfer. The approach employs a Chain-of-Thought reasoning paradigm during inference to handle long-horizon and fine-grained tasks across diverse robot embodiments. Experiments in both simulation and real-world environments demonstrate consistent outperformance over baseline methods and generalization to unseen settings, all without requiring robotic intention annotations.

Editorial context

The authors propose GazeVLA, a method that models human gaze to derive mid-level intention representations for robotic manipulation, enabling cross-embodiment knowledge transfer and long-horizon task execution without explicit robot intention annotations; results are reported from extensive experiments in both simulation and real-world settings.

learning. In this work, we model human intention to enable efficient learning from human demonstrations. Among human behavioral cues, gaze simultaneously encodes high-level task semantics and exhibits a synergistic coupling with low-level action. By modeling intention through gaze, we derive a mid-level representation that facilitates cross-embodiment knowledge transfer. We demonstrate that robots can internalize hu

Implications for data suppliers

RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.

  • Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
  • Check the exact dataset version, license, modalities and task coverage against the intended use.
  • Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
