PDRVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model with Physical Dynamics Representations

PDRVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model with Physical Dynamics Representations

Summary

This paper presents PDRVLA, a new Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that integrates a lightweight Physical Dynamics Module to extract physical tokens from vision-language features for conditioning action generation.

Editorial context

The study introduces PDRVLA, a Vision-Language-Action model that incorporates a lightweight Physical Dynamics Module to condition action generation on predicted future RGB, depth, and optical-flow features without online video generation, trained entirely on publicly available data augmented by human-to-robot synthesis and embodied chain-of-thought annotations.
