ODEAction: From Predicting Chunks to Evolving Actions
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2611.09672v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models typically generate actions in chunks, organizing continuous robot execution into separately predicted segments and thus introducing potential discontinuities at action-chunk transitions. We propose ODEAction, a chunk-free action generation paradigm that replaces action-chunk prediction with Continuous Action Evolution. Given visual observations, language instructions, and robot proprioceptive information, ODEAction learns an action transition field defined over action space, where a transition vector characterizes the evolution rate of the current action with respect to evolution time. During execution, the model takes the current action as its initial condition and integrates the learned field using an ordinary differential equation (ODE), recursively generating subsequent actions with explicit dependencies. ODEAction is implemented as an action head and does not depend on a specific vision-language backbone architecture. Experiments on LIBERO, EBench, RoboTwin, and real robots show that ODEAction improves both task performance and trajectory quality over matched action-chunking baselines, with particularly pronounced gains on fine manipulation tasks.
