ShieldVLA proposes feasibility-aware safety alignment for vision-language-action models

A new arXiv paper introduces ShieldVLA, a method for safety alignment in vision-language-action models used in robotic manipulation and navigation. The authors argue that existing fine-tuning approaches, which largely depend on Lagrangian optimization, offer only limited safety guarantees. The work instead frames safety as a feasibility-aware alignment problem.

Study tests geometry conditioning controls in 0.8B embodied language model

A new arXiv paper examines how physical-state inputs shape a 0.8B hybrid language model adapted for robotic manipulation with only 6.2M trainable parameters. The researchers train six conditions on three LIBERO-Spatial tasks and assess robustness across three seeds and 540 held-out rollouts. The results provide training controls and diagnostic measures for geometry conditioning in small embodied models.
