Thermo-VLA: A Thermal-Aware Vision-Language-Action Model with Gated Residual Modulation for Robotic Manipulation

Thermo-VLA: A Thermal-Aware Vision-Language-Action Model with Gated Residual Modulation for Robotic Manipulation

Summary

This research presents Thermo-VLA, a new Vision-Language-Action model designed for robotic manipulation that incorporates thermal sensing.

Editorial context

The paper introduces Thermo-VLA, a Vision-Language-Action model that uses gated residual modulation to decompose thermal images into cold and hot attributes for temperature-aware robotic manipulation, achieving an average success rate of 0.86 on four thermal-dependent tasks with a dual-arm Unitree G1 platform.
