Spike-driven Vision-Language-Action Model

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.39514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models bridge multimodal understanding and robotic control, advancing the dominant paradigm for embodied intelligence. However, most existing models rely on large Transformers, whose latency and energy costs hinder deployment on resource-constrained platforms. Through sparse event-driven computation, spiking neural networks offer a promising paradigm for high-performance and energy-efficient computing. Here, we propose the first Spike-driven VLA framework enabling end-to-end direct training for robotic manipulation, which mainly comprises three core components. First, we develop spiking visual and instruction encoders for multimodal perception, encoding visual observations and language instructions into sparse, re
